NCT ID NCT07704996
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests whether an AI-enhanced mobile app called e-CAMP can improve mental well-being and reduce mild-to-moderate depression and anxiety in young adolescents aged 11 to 15. About 300 students from eight schools in Hong Kong will either use the app regularly for eight weeks or receive a standard health talk. Researchers will measure changes in depressive symptoms, mental health knowledge, and smartphone habits to see if the app offers a practical tool for schools.
