Brief Summary   In the current study we propose to address challenges around the assessment of
cognition as well as its measurement in the context of different
environments and circadian terms through a novel concept called
micro cognitive and contextual momentary performance.  Micro
cognitive and contextual momentary performance metrics involve
two core elements captured simultaneously: 1) brief self-
administered scalable smartphone measures of cognitive
performance; and 2) digital phenotyping measures of symptoms,
activity levels, sleep patterns, and related functional /
environmental factors. These related functional / environmental
factors include metrics about the immediate environment (light,
ambient sound levels, social density) and personal state (sleep,
mobility, and activity metrics). These micro cognitive and
contextual momentary performance metrics are designed to be
offered multiple times per day via a smartphone and thus represent
a scalable means to bring novel cognitive performance
measurement into the hands of millions of people with
schizophrenia.
In this study, we will co-develop a battery of these assessments
designed to measure those cognitive domains most impacted in
early course schizophrenia, refine that battery in pilot testing, and
finally assess the potential of our micro cognitive and contextual
momentary performance metrics against functional outcomes with
personalized scoring controlling for differing environments and
circadian rhythms. Our goal is to introduce accessible micro
cognitive and contextual momentary performance metrics and
study their utility in assessing real world functioning and symptoms
in first episode schizophrenia.
