As mobile devices become an internalized part of our personal behaviors and social interactions, they offer a tantalizing alternative to traditional human behavior assessments. Medical researchers, for example, have explored the use of mobile device data to generate epidemiological insights. Collecting and interpreting pattern-of-life data, however, are challenged by the need to ensure the validity, reliability, and accuracy of data collected from novel sources for use in assessing constructs previously assessed through non-computational methods. In this chapter, we present a useful framework and set of practices suitable for addressing these challenges and evaluating the validity of 21st century assessment tools.
