What would participation involve?
Participants may complete study activities around the study approach, complete questionnaires or follow-up assessments, attend study visits with the research team. The registry lists locations in Australia.

What should you check before joining?
Ask about whether there is a comparison group, how many visits or travel steps are needed, the exact eligibility criteria.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a university, with sites including Black Dog Institute / University of New South Wales in Randwick, Sydney. Participation appears to involve using a digital tool or support program and giving feedback through check-ins or assessments. The main fit is usually meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include safety concerns that need urgent care first and major medical issues that could make participation unsuitable. 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.
Questions to ask before joining
- What are the exact eligibility criteria, and what could exclude someone?
- How many visits, assessments, or follow-ups are expected, and over what period?
- What risks, side effects, practical burdens, or alternatives should be understood first?
- Who should be contacted to confirm locations, timing, compensation, and next steps?

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. 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: Over 18 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 The University of New South Wales, which appears to be a university. 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 completed. It may still be useful for understanding the research, but you are unlikely to be able to join.
