Taking part may give some people access to a digital support tool, but direct benefit is not guaranteed.

What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including The Dauten Family Center for Bipolar Treatment Innovation at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Participation appears to involve guided sessions or support activities with check-ins on how they fit into daily life. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis and being able to understand the study and consent, while common reasons not to take part include active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results and pregnancy or breastfeeding. This is an early-stage study, which usually means a smaller group and a focus on learning how the approach behaves.
