Phone app trains schizophrenia patients to see themselves clearly

This study tested a new mobile app called iTEST that helps people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder improve how accurately they judge their own performance on memory and emotion recognition tasks. 69 adults completed daily exercises on a smartphone for 16 weeks, guessing how many answers they got right. The goal was to see if this training could boost self-awareness and, in turn, improve real-world functioning. The study was completed and focused on measuring changes in introspective accuracy.
