Summary

This study tested alivis, a smartphone app that teaches coping skills for borderline personality disorder (BPD). It was designed for people aged 18-65 with BPD, who used the app alongside their usual treatment. The goal was to see if the app reduces BPD symptoms, depression, and anxiety. However, the trial was terminated early, so we don't have clear results on its effectiveness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
alivis digital health application
What this could lead to
If it had succeeded, this could point toward a convenient, app-based way to help manage BPD symptoms alongside usual care.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early, so results are not available. Digital interventions may not work for everyone, and this was an unguided program.
