AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review aims to examine relapse definitions and risk factors in psychosis as well as the role of technology in relapse predictions and risk modeling.Recent FindingsThere is currently no standard definition for relapse. Therefore, there is a need for data models that can account for the variety of factors involved in defining relapse. Smartphones have the ability to capture real-time, moment-to-moment assessment symptomology and behaviors via their variety of sensors and have high potential to be used to create prediction and risk modeling.SummaryWhile there is still a need for further research on how technology can predict and model relapse, there are simple ways to begin incorporating technology for relapse prediction in clinical care.
