The utilization of mobile technology in the healthcare sector possesses the capability to revolutionize both clinical practice and research. Innovative remote measurement technologies, such as smartphone applications, sensors, wearable technologies, self-reports through microblogging platforms, and selfies for tracking facial changes to measure potential side effects of medications, fall under the category of mHealth. These technologies enable frequent, longitudinal, and personalized health monitoring. Currently, the evaluation and subsequent treatment of numerous chronic mental health conditions are restricted to retrospective recall during routine clinic visits, which may be subject to bias. The collection of comprehensive patient monitoring data offers the potential for high-frequency symptom monitoring, providing a more accurate reflection of an individual's daily experiences.
