Cognitive impairments are frequently observed in subjects with severe mental illnesses (SMI), leading to a remarkable impact their real-world functioning. Well-validated and gold standard instruments available for the assessment of cognitive deficits, but different limitations should be considered, such as need specific training, lengthy administration times, practice effects, or reliance on subjective reports. Recent advances digital technologies, ecological momentary assessments (EMA), virtual reality (VR), passive phenotyping (DP), offer promising complementary approaches capturing In current mini-review, we examine research gaps that limit application these focus feasibility, reliability validity. EMA may capture functioning by increasing number evaluations throughout day, its use might hindered high participant burden missing data. Furthermore, achieve an accurate interpretation EMA, studies account sampling moment selection biases presence several confounding factors. DP faces significant ethical logistical challenges, including privacy informed consent concerns, well challenges data interpretation. VR could serve platform both more ecologically valid rehabilitation interventions, barriers include technological psychometric limitations, underdeveloped theoretical frameworks, considerations. Addressing issues is crucial ensuring novel technologies can effectively valuable complements traditional neuropsychological batteries.
