mHealth technology to assess, monitor and treat daily functioning difficulties in people with severe mental illness: A systematic review
Abstract
Severe mental illness (SMI) is associated with poor daily functioning; however available interventions currently under-deliver on their recovery prospect. Mobile digital health (mHealth) interventions are increasingly being developed and evaluated, and have the potential to support recovery. This review evaluates the use of mHealth technology to assess, monitor and reduce functioning difficulties in people with SMI. Studies were systematically searched on multiple databases. Study quality was assessed and double-rated independently. Findings were organised using a narrative synthesis and results were summarised according to the mHealth device purpose, i.e., assessment and monitoring or intervention. Thirty-eight studies comprised of 2262 participants met the inclusion criteria. Smartphones were the most popular mHealth device; personal digital assistants, wearables and tablets were also used. mHealth was widely found to be acceptable and feasible, with preliminary findings suggesting it can support functional recovery by augmenting an intervention, simplifying the assessment, increasing monitoring frequency and/or providing more detailed information. Considerations for overcoming barriers to implementation, recommendations for future research to establish effectiveness, personalisation and specification of mHealth devices and methodologies are discussed. The value of mHealth for remote delivery of recovery based interventions is also considered.

ESM approaches are particularly well suited for integrating time use information into person-centered recovery-oriented care and self-management tools, such as the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP).
“With activity-related on-line information and resources, tracking devices and other applications continuing to advance, the ESM approaches are particularly well suited for integrating time use information into person-centered recovery-oriented care and self-management tools, such as the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) (76).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
