Abstract

Digital technologies such as smartphones, smartwatches and head-mounted displays are increasingly available at low cost and have witnessed an unparalleled gain in computational power over the recent years. This has resulted in an increasing interest in, and steep upsurge in the possibilities of, using these technologies to deliver personalized, engaging and adaptive digital interventions for individuals with psychosis. In this article, different types of digital interventions will be described, recent examples of cutting-edge internet-based eHealth, app-based mHealth and virtual reality-based interventions provided and important challenges discussed. The article will conclude by discussing promising avenues for the future and clinical implications.
