This type of data collection involves intentional responses from the participant. For example, they may fill out an ecological momentary assessment survey on how they are feeling or what they are doing.

Active Data Collection

This type of data collection does not involve active participation from participants. For example, passive data could include estimating the locations or distance a subject has traveled through GPS.

Passive Data Collection 

Regarding schizophrenia, the benefits of cognitive assessment via remote technology is uncertain.

What Is Schizophrenia?

Peripheral inflammation and increased central immune system activation have been linked to poorer cognition function in individuals suffering from schizophrenia. However, the results from these studies are mixed and cannot provide conclusive evidence.

Neuroinflammation and Cognition

Researchers employ tools from computational neuroscience to understand the underlying mechanisms of cognitive impairments in schizophrenia.

Computational Modeling of Cognitive Processes


Cognition and Remote Digital Technology 


According to researchers’ findings, many characteristics of schizophrenia, specifically cognitive functioning, can be linked to an underlying problem in neural connectivity.
