Abstract summary 

Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are associated with cognitive deficits that contribute significantly to disability. However, traditional in-lab cognitive assessments are time-consuming and not optimized for remote administration. Recent advancements in smartphone technology enable momentary cognitive assessments in a real-world context. This brief report reviews recent research in momentary cognitive assessments in individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder through reviewing mobile platforms and cognitive assessments studied. A total of 14 experimental articles were reviewed, focusing on cognitive domains including visual working memory, processing speed, executive function, verbal fluency, verbal memory, social cognition, and typing patterns. The review highlights the feasibility of remote cognitive assessment with smartphones, and provides a layout of domains studied in this context, but illustrates a low volume of current research, the need for additional studies, and the potential for innovations like digital phenotyping.
