“…28 mHealth applications have successfully facilitated monitoring and mitigation of medication side effects for other health conditions in low-and middle-income countries. 29,30 Promoting selfmanagement of PrEP side effects and empowering women by filling PrEP knowledge gaps could be a mechanism by which the mWACh-PrEP platform improved PrEP continuation in this study. We found diminished response to automated messages after 1 month, which suggests that a timelimited mHealth intervention may be sufficient to address concerns and support onboarding to sustained PrEP use.…”

a,g for the PrIYA Program Team We evaluated a 2-way short messaging service (SMS) communication platform to improve continuation of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention among Kenyan pregnant and postpartum women who initiated PrEP within routine maternal child health and family planning clinics. SMS increased support for PrEP, provided opportunities for dialogue beyond the clinic, and enabled women to ask and receive answers in real-time, which facilitated continued PrEP use.

“…For example, the Med-e monitor (Paul et al, 2003) sends prompts to support medication adherence to patients. PsyLOG (Rojnic Kuzman et al, 2017) monitors medication side-effects and lifestyle factors in an effort to improve medication adherence. Another application, called Coagu App (Vegt & Guest, 2017), targets patients with schizophrenia who need regular testing of their anticoagulation status, by asking patients to wear a sensor that receives a signal after ingestion of a digital pill.…”

Background: Various types of computational technologies can be used to access, store and wirelessly share private and sensitive user-related information. The ‘big data’ provided by these technologies may enable researchers and clinicians to better identify behavioral patterns and to provide a more personalized approach to care. The information collected, however, can be misused or potentially abused, and therefore could be detrimental to the very people who provided their medical data with the hope of improving care. This article focuses on the use of emerging mobile technologies that allow the collection of data about patients experiencing schizophrenia spectrum and related disorders. Schizophrenia has been recognized by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations for its burden on our health care system and society [1]. Our analysis provides an overview of the range of available mobile technologies for people with schizophrenia and related conditions along with the technology’s reported capabilities and limitations, and efficacy of mHealth interventions based on the data from articles. Thus, the focus of this review is first and foremost to update the scope of existing technologies as previous systematic reviews such as the ones by Alvarez-Jimenez et al. and by Firth and Torous are outdated [2, 3]. Although we also examine the ethical issues arising from the use of these technologies, for an in-depth analysis of the ethical implications of mobile Health technologies (mHealth), we refer the readers to our follow-up article. In terms of the ubiquitous availability of technology on the internet, our article summarizes significant information for mental health specialists and apprises the reader about the existence of these technologies. Objectives: In terms of the ubiquitous availability of technology on the internet, our article summarizes significant information for mental health specialists and apprises the reader about the existence of these technologies.

“…Mobile applications can be used as cost-effective, accessible, and user-friendly tools for psychological interventions and training (14,15). Mobile-based psychoeducation has advantages compared to traditional methods (face-toface counseling), including easy access to psychiatric training and anonymity guaranteed (16).…”

The Investigation of the Effectiveness of Mobile-based Psychoeducation in Patients with Bipolar Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)

et al. 2021

Background: Bipolar disorder is a chronic and debilitating psychiatric condition. Mobile-based psychoeducation is a very important tool for the treatment of this disorder. Objectives: The study aimed to provide scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of these tools for patients with bipolar disorder. Methods: In a randomized control trial (RCT) with a sample size of 41, the participants were randomly assigned to one of the intervention or the control arms based on the random number table. The study was performed in a psychiatric teaching hospital in Mashhad, Iran. The primary targets of the study was to measure the depression, manic, and anxiety symptoms that were measured at baseline and 3 months follow‐up for the intervention and the control group. A mobile application was developed and provided to the intervention group after discharge from the case hospital. The control group did not receive the application and received routine health care services during the study. A baseline comparison was performed between the groups, comparisons of the primary outcomes between the groups and within each group were carried out. Results: The results showed that the score of anxiety, depression, and mania at baseline and after the follow-up did not have a significant decrease within the groups. In addition, a slight reduction in the depression and anxiety scores within the groups was found. The mean of anxiety (P-value: 0.035), depression (P-value: 0.024), and mania (P-value: 0.007) after 3 month follow-up had a significant decrease between the groups. A baseline comparison was performed between the groups, and comparisons of the primary outcomes between the groups and within each group were carried out. Conclusions: Given the low effectiveness of using mobile-based psychoeducation on anxiety, depression, and mania in bipolar patients. It is recommended to use mobile applications as a complementary treatment along with other types of treatment for bipolar patients in future studies to obtain more evidence about the effectiveness of mobile-based psychoeducation.
