Can a smartphone app bridge the gap between primary care and addiction treatment?
NCT ID NCT06743282
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study from Mayo Clinic tests whether a smartphone app called Senyo Health can help connect people with substance use disorders to treatment through their primary care doctor. Sixty participants will use the app for 12 weeks, which includes therapy modules, weekly check-ins with a care manager, and monthly urine tests. The goal is to understand what helps or hinders this digital approach, not to prove it works as a treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Senyo Health app (behavioral intervention with therapy modules and care manager check-ins)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a digital app helps connect primary care patients to substance use treatment more effectively.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (60 people) focused on feasibility and barriers, not a large trial testing effectiveness. Results may not apply broadly.
