1. A computer-implemented method for using a physiological biomarker sensor to generate data for displaying intervention content at a specified time on a user device, the method comprising:
receiving, from a physiological biomarker sensor, a physiological biomarker associated with a user's physiology;
determining that the physiological biomarker exceeds a physiological threshold, wherein the physiological biomarker exceeding the physiological threshold is at least partially indicative of a health-related condition related to anxiety associated with the user;
transmitting, based at least in part on the determination that the physiological biomarker exceeds the physiological threshold, an intervention notification to the user device;
receiving, via the user device, a user response to the intervention notification and a specified time associated with displaying intervention content;
generating, in response to the user response to the intervention notification, data for displaying the intervention content at the specified time on the user device, wherein the intervention content is configured to treat the health-related condition related to anxiety;
transmitting, at the specified time, the data configured to treat the health-related condition related to anxiety to the user device;
receiving, via the user device, user interaction with the intervention content; and
transmitting, to a remote computing device, a report of the user interaction with the intervention content.
