iPad-assisted measurements of duration estimation in psychiatric patients and healthy control subjects.

Handheld devices with touchscreen controls have become widespread in the general population. In this study, we examined the duration estimates (explicit timing) made by patients in a major general hospital and healthy control subjects using a custom iPad application. We methodically assessed duratio...
