Despite its benefits, EMA also presents several challenges:
Participant Burden: Frequent prompts can be intrusive and may lead to participant fatigue, affecting data quality. Compliance: Ensuring that participants respond to prompts consistently can be difficult. Data Management: The high volume of data generated by EMA requires robust data management and analysis strategies. Technical Issues: Reliance on mobile technology means that technical problems, such as app malfunctions or battery drain, can disrupt data collection.
