Pdf Summary
This document is a summary of a webinar titled "Advances in Smartphones and Digital Health for Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Research." The webinar was part of the Clinical Support System for Serious Mental Illness (CSS-SMI) initiative, a collaboration between the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The webinar focused on strategies for utilizing smartphones and digital health tools in research on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.<br /><br />The webinar discussed the use of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and ecological momentary cognitive testing (EMCT) in collecting data on symptoms, functioning, and cognition in individuals with serious mental illness. EMA involves surveying individuals in real-time about their daily experiences and moods, while EMCT uses mobile cognitive tests to measure cognitive abilities in natural environments. These approaches have the potential to improve the validity and frequency of assessments, reduce costs, and increase scalability.<br /><br />The webinar also explored the challenges and benefits of using smartphones and digital health tools in research, such as overcoming self-report bias and increasing adherence. It highlighted the importance of understanding the everyday functional outcomes of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, which are often related to disability in social, vocational, and residential domains.<br /><br />Overall, the webinar emphasized the potential of smartphones and digital health tools in advancing research on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It highlighted the importance of ecological momentary assessments and cognitive testing in capturing real-world experiences and improving the understanding of symptoms, functioning, and cognition in individuals with serious mental illness.
