Research shows that patients often experience a therapeutic effect through monitoring of their experiences and behaviour, whether they use mobile devices or a paper and pencil method. Monitoring symptoms in daily life during cognitive behavioural therapy improves the outcome of the treatment (Firth and Torous, 2015; Os et al., 2013; Torous and Firth, 2016).

SMARTApp
The SMARTapp (Schizophrenia Mobile Assessment and RealTime

were built on the PsyMate™ platform (www.psymate.eu), which is a
platform including a smartphone app, a cloud-based data storage and a
reporting module, that allows customized collection of ESM data
(thoughts, feelings, and behaviour) in everyday life.
