We have a strong methodological focus on Ambulatory Assessment. Ambulatory Assessment is characterized by computer-based repeated assessments of current affective, behavioural, and contextual experiences or physiological processes while participants engage in their normal daily activities. This allows for examining fluctuating symptomatology with high ecological validity by repeatedly assessing the variable of interest in (near) real-time and in the real world, i.e., patients’ natural habitat. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Usually, we don’t know what patients experience when they leave the office or lab. We can only ask them retrospectively about their experiences \u2013 unless we equip them with mobile devices. Thus, we use electronic diaries (i.e., smartphones) and sensor technology (such as wearables) in order to subjectively and objectively investigate how psychopathology unfolds in daily life. Moreover, the methodolgy also promises to provide interventions, when patients are actually in need of it, i.e., just in time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
