There is a need for designing interventions for the full breadth of mental disorders, rather than primarily focusing on most prevalent disorders.

Regarding technical aspects, we argue that further exploration and innovative use of the novel capabilities of smartphones are needed to fully realize their potential for the treatment of mental health disorders.
