Key information made simple

This study exists to see whether a digital app or remote support tool can play a useful role in care. Researchers are trying to understand what a digital app or remote support tool could change in day-to-day care and decision-making. For people living with Mental health, the gap between what sounds good on paper and what works in daily life is often important. If the findings are useful, they could help future care become more targeted, practical, and easier to trust. Taking part helps build the evidence that can improve understanding and care for others over time.

What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including University Hospital for Mental Health Bern, Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation in Bernand Psychiatric University Hospital Zurich. Participation appears to involve guided sessions or support activities with check-ins on how they fit into daily life. The main fit is usually being able to understand the study and consent, while common reasons not to take part include major medical issues that could make participation unsuitable and other factors 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.

FAQ

Questions about this study

What is this study trying to understand?

This study is exploring digital app or tool for people with mental health. 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.

Why is the study type not clearly categorized?

The study type is not clearly categorized in the public registry. Focus on the objective, required tasks, visits, any intervention, and eligibility criteria, then ask the study team to confirm.

Who might this study be for?

This study may concern people with mental health; 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?

The public registry does not clearly describe all participation steps. 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 risks or points should I check?

The public registry does not make the main risk category clear. Ask the study team what activities are required, what could feel uncomfortable, how safety is monitored, and what happens if you want to stop. 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 University of Bern, 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.
