Summary

This pilot study tested a new automated phone system called 'My Coach Connect' for people with chronic mental illness. Participants called the system twice a week to share how they were doing, and their providers could listen to the recordings. The goal was to see if this tool could help improve communication and care. The study involved 47 people and focused on understanding how the system worked, not on curing or treating the illness.
