First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week mobile app program can improve thinking skills and motivation in people with early psychosis. About 400 participants already receiving coordinated specialty care will either use the app or continue standard care. Researchers will track changes in cognition, motivation, and quality of life over 18 months.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, scalable way to improve thinking skills and motivation for people with early psychosis.
