A longitudinal analysis of 256 individuals with first episode psychosis found that increased social experiences consistently predicted a reduced risk of relapse over a 12-month period. Machine learning models using brief daily smartphone data achieved high accuracy in predicting psychosis relapse, supporting the utility of such simple assessment tools. These results suggest that real-time digital tracking can effectively identify early indicators of relapse in first episode psychosis.

How much can research methodology change our understanding of first episode psychosis (FEP)?
🔬 How much can research methodology change our understanding of first episode psychosis (FEP)?
A new study examining U.S. administrative claims data found that estimated FEP incidence varied dramatically depending on the eligibility criteria used.
Researchers reviewed studies published from 2010–2026 and applied their differing criteria—including ICD code definitions, age ranges, and enrollment requirements—to the same MarketScan commercial claims dataset.
📊 The result? Estimated incidence ranged from 20 to 163 cases per 100,000.
This wide variation highlights the importance of standardized approaches to FEP incidence estimates—particularly when these data are used to inform planning for coordinated specialty care programs.

New paper: speech analytics can reliably capture negative symptom severity in schizophrenia. Speech proportion, speech rate, and unfilled pauses emerged as robust, clinically relevant digital markers across visits and tasks.

💫How to move beyond symptom stabilization to improve everyday functioning in early phases of schizophrenia?
New study published in @schizjournal examine how Evidence Based Psychosocial Interventions are implemented in real-world practice

Key findings:
Functional gains with EBPI: Participants who received EBPI showed greater improvements in real-world psychosocial functioning over time, with significant advantages at 12 months follow-up and across all assessment points.
New prospective study published in @schizjournal examine how Evidence-Based Psychosocial Interventions (EBPI) are implemented in real-world practice and how they impact outcomes in individuals with early-phase schizophrenia who are stabilized on long-acting injectable LAIs.
