Self-harm is a prevalent issue amongst young people, yet it is thought around 40% will never seek professional help due to stigma surrounding it. It is generally a way of coping with emotional distress and can have a range of triggers. This paper explores perceptions of mobile sensing, and current and future uses for smartphone-based interventions. This paper also contributes to the understanding of how triggers for self-harm might be identified and subsequently predicted and prevented using mobile-sensing technology.
