In plain English

Key information made simple

This study is looking at whether a digital support tool can help people with depression. Participants take part in a digital support tool and complete follow-up assessments. Some participants may receive Sham Arm instead of the study treatment, and direct benefit is not guaranteed.

What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Interventional Psychiatry Program, St Michael's Hospital - Unity Health Toronto. Participation appears to involve assessments along with scans or samples to help researchers understand patterns more clearly. The main fit is usually being able to understand the study and consent and matching the main diagnosis. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.

FAQ

Questions about this study

What is this study trying to understand?

This study is exploring digital app or tool for people with depression. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. It includes a comparison with a sham comparison. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.

Does this study involve a device, app, or technology?

This appears to be a device / app / digital / technology study. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.

Who might this study be for?

This study may concern people with depression; age range: From 18 Years to 65 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

What would I likely need to do?

You may need to use a device, app, or digital tool for a defined period. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

What should I check about data, monitoring, alerts, and daily use?

If the study uses a device, app, or digital tool, check what data is collected, who can access it, how often you need to use it, and what happens if the tool detects a concerning signal. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

Who is behind this study?

This study is sponsored by Unity Health Toronto, which appears to be unknown or unclear. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.

Can I still join this study?

The registry indicates that this study is currently recruiting. This does not mean you are eligible: the study team must confirm the criteria, available locations, and next steps.
