First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether adding a mental health app called TREE-Connect to remote therapy sessions helps reduce depression in adults aged 50 to 80. Sixty participants with mild-to-moderate depression will use the app and attend therapy remotely. The main goal is to see if people find this approach acceptable and satisfying.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
TREE-Connect mental health app and clinician-delivered psychotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, scalable way to reduce depression symptoms in older adults using a combination of an app and remote therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on acceptability, not effectiveness. The app may not provide additional benefit over therapy alone, and results may not apply to everyone with depression.
