Abstract:

Many illnesses are characterised by symptoms which are highly variable both within and between individuals. One way of capturing and studying this variability is to use frequent self-report measures in an intensive longitudinal method (such as Ecological Momentary Assessment). This presentation will outline the principles of this approach using the example of a study of Long Covid. It will also include new findings from a follow-up study in which people with Long Covid “think aloud” as they look at, and reflect on, visual summaries of their personal data.
