Summary

This study is testing a digital platform called Jaspr Health that provides suicide risk assessment and coping skills to people in the emergency department who are having suicidal thoughts. About 670 participants will use the app with help from a research coordinator and continue using it after discharge. The goal is to see if the app reduces suicide attempts and related hospital visits over the next year.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, scalable tool to help people in crisis manage suicidal thoughts and reduce the risk of future suicide attempts.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage trial with 670 participants, and the app's benefits may not extend to everyone. The study relies on self-reported data and smartphone access, which could limit its real-world impact.
