Summary
This study tested whether a mobile app called IntelliCare can reduce depression and anxiety in breast cancer survivors. 313 women who had been diagnosed within the past 5 years and had elevated symptoms used the app or received standard educational materials. The study also looked at whether adding human coaching helped those who used the app less. The goal is to find a low-cost, accessible way to support survivors' mental health.
