First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will test a smartphone app called CONEMO in over 12,000 adults visiting primary care clinics. The app uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Participants will use the app on their own phones or tablets, and researchers will track whether their symptoms improve over time.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an accessible, low-cost digital tool to help manage common mental health symptoms in primary care settings.
