Real‐time experience: A systematic review of ecological momentary assessments of everyday functioning in major depressive disorder

EMA offers a unique pathway to bridge the gap between clinical research and functional recovery. By providing high-resolution data on real-time everyday functioning, EMA enables the design of precision psychiatry interventions tailored to individual occupational patterns. Implementing these ecological assessments can facilitate a transition from generalized care to human-centred, responsive treatments that directly address daily life barriers.
