Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app that provides personalized lifestyle advice can help reduce depression symptoms in adults visiting their general practitioner. 216 participants will either use the app alongside their usual care or receive usual care alone. The app helps users set goals in areas like sleep, diet, and exercise, and tracks their mood over time.
