The breathtaking technological progress in the field of mobile computing, smartphones and wearables offers new opportunities for psychiatric research and therapy. Wearables enable not only the objective assessment of psychiatric symptoms in real time and everyday life but using continuous monitoring and analysis of relevant parameters can also define important situations, contexts and timing during which extended assessment strategies and real-life interventions can be implemented. The momentary effect of inner city green space exposure on well-being, motivational behavior feedback and geofencing for the detection of drinking episodes are used as examples to illustrate the core benefits of real-time analyses and feedback from wearables for psychiatric research and therapy.

The lack of recognition of overvaluation of shape and weight may lead to overlooking, and consequently failure to address this construct during treatment.
