Demographic and Clinical Characteristics Influencing Ecological Momentary Assessment Compliance in Individuals With Bipolar Disorder: Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bipolar disorder requires immediate and frequent daily symptom monitoring due to its extreme mood fluctuations. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) technology uses high-frequency data collection to achieve ecologically valid capture of patient symptoms. Investigating EMA compliance among Chinese patients with bipolar disorder and its influencing factors is essential for developing more feasible daily symptom monitoring protocols.

Methods

A total of 100 adults (63 female individuals) with bipolar disorder across mood states (depressive episode
