Ambulatory Assessment
The method of Ecological Momentary Assessment prompts patients to report on their experience often multiple times a day. This provides a rich dataset of self-report data enabling clinicians to gain a deeper understanding of each individual, their fluctuations over time, and which life situations or environments impact their health and wellbeing. Mobile apps such as mEMA allow clinicians and researchers to easily capture these self-report data.
But what about all the factors influencing our patients that they may not even be aware of? Such as how much they are sleeping, exercising, drinking, smoking or times when they are feeling stressed and may not yet be aware of it. All these things affect us in ways we don’t fully understand — yet.
Integrating ambulatory assessment with ecological momentary assessment gives us all the opportunity to understand human behavior at a deeper level and importantly – to be able to intervene at the crucial moments to support greater health and wellbeing.
