Ecological monitoring of physical activity, emotions and daily life activities in schizophrenia: the DiAPAson study

Conclusions
Sedentary behaviour and negative emotions are particularly critical among patients with SSD and are associated with more impaired clinical outcomes.

Clinical implications
Mobile-EMA and wearable sensors are useful for monitoring the daily life of patients with SSD and the level of PA. This population needs to be targeted with specific rehabilitative programmes aimed at improving their commitment to structured daily activities.
