Patients with schizophrenia have a high rate of recurrent relapse episodes, with each
subsequent relapse having a detrimental impact on clinical outcomes. To alleviate the
substantial economic and humanistic burden, the availability of smartphones and the
internet provides a crucial opportunity for collecting active (e.g., survey) or/and passive
(e.g., sensor) data to monitor and assess the symptoms of relapse. This paper reviews
the published literature that utilizes recent technologies (texting, telemedicine, apps,
surveys, sensors) to predict and prevent a subsequent episode of relapse in
schizophrenia. Our study provides an updated overview of the variety of technologies
available for predicting and preventing relapse in people with schizophrenia. The
effectiveness of technology, its limitations, and future direction are discussed based
on the data from studies
