Early psychosis service user views on digital remote monitoring: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current approaches to mental healthcare for people with severe mental health problems are limited by sporadic monitoring and symptom recall bias. Emotional and behavioural markers generated by digital health technologies (DHTs) offer the potential to enhance quality of care and clinical decision-making. This study explored early psychosis service users' views and experiences of using a digital remote monitoring tool (ClinTouch app).

Methods

Qualitative framework analysis was undertaken with interview data collected from participants who took part in the Actissist proof-of-concept and subsequent randomised controlled trial studies to understand the experiences of participants using the ClinTouch app (n = 8).

Results

Data were summarised into four key themes.
