Culturally sensitive methods (e.g. yarning) and the use of pictures (e.g. photovoice) and storytelling methods (e.g. story completion) can capture more diverse experiences and sensitive topics while being able to minimise social desirability. Online qualitative surveys can increase the reach while artificial intelligence (AI) can be implemented in qualitative research protocols. Emerging quantitative methodologies aim to better understand dynamic within\u2010person processes. With repeated daily smartphone\u2010based assessments (e.g. ecological momentary assessment) and passive sensor\u2010based data collections (e.g. digital phenotyping), intensive longitudinal data can be collected that allow for n\u2010of\u20101 trials, especially in combination with continuous glucose monitoring. Quantitative data can also be used to identify clusters\/subgroups of people with shared experiences. Innovative digital twin technology and AI offer intriguing possibilities that can advance the field towards precision mental health care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Several innovative methodologies (will) enrich our understanding of psychosocial aspects in diabetes.
