Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app called Kiso Mind is acceptable and helpful for people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Sixty participants will either use the app plus their usual treatment, or just usual treatment alone, for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure how often people use the app and whether it improves symptoms, mood, and social functioning.

What this could lead to

If successful, this app could offer a convenient, low-cost way to help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning for people with schizophrenia.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early pilot study (60 people) focused on whether people will use the app, not on proving it works. The app is not a replacement for standard care.
