Remote Cognitive Assessment in Severe Mental Illness: A Scoping Review
Key Messages
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to develop guidelines and protocols for best practices in remote cognitive assessment of individuals diagnosed with a severe mental illness to ensure they can properly receive psychological interventions delivered through digital mental health technologies. Our main objective is to map the current knowledge on remote cognitive assessment in severe mental illness. This will allow us to develop guidelines for clinicians and researchers as well as identify promising avenues for future scientific studies. Until now, we have retrieved more than 20,000 articles, from which more than 50 have been included in our scoping review.
