Your phone could soon sense when you're down and offer help — study tests app for early psychosis
NCT ID NCT07503093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether smartphone sensors can detect when someone with early psychosis is feeling anxious or depressed and then offer a short mindfulness or psychoeducation exercise. Ten adults aged 18–50 with early psychosis and mild mood symptoms will use the app for 10 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Smartphone-based mindfulness exercises and psychoeducation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a practical, low-cost way to help people with early psychosis manage anxiety and depression in real time.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early feasibility study with only 10 people, so results may not apply widely. The interventions are brief and may not be strong enough to produce lasting change.
