Can a smartphone app help families get loved ones faster psychosis care?

This study tested a mobile app designed to help caregivers of young adults (ages 15-35) who have early psychosis. The app provides interactive lessons to improve caregivers' knowledge and coping skills, aiming to reduce family stress and help the young adult get treatment sooner. 60 caregivers in the U.S. participated in a remote pilot trial comparing the app to existing online resources. The goal was to see if the app is acceptable and feasible, and whether it improves family communication and treatment access.
