Using Semiautomated WhatsApp Messages for Daily Stress Measurements: Integrated Usability and Feasibility Study

Usability ratings indicated a strong preference among participants for MC and text messages over voice messages. Future research should explore usability in more diverse samples and in direct comparison to traditional assessment methods.
