Daily symptom monitoring is sustainable over months: retention, not compliance, is the primary barrier to long-duration digital tracking

2026-06-10

Abstract excerpt

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) enables real-time, longitudinal measurement of symptoms and behavior via smartphones, yet nearly all feasibility evidence comes from protocols lasting one to two weeks, far shorter than the timescales over which chronic diseases fluctuate and clinical decisions unfold. Whether daily compliance can be sustained over months, or whether it decays as short-protocol trends predict,...
