T59. FILLING THE GAP BETWEEN RESEARCH AND CLINICAL PRACTICE: A NEW APP FOR PATIENTS WITH FIRST EPISODE OF PSYCHOSIS
2019
BACKGROUND: In spite of promising results of mobile Health (mHealth) interventions for patients with psychosis, integration of these appliances into clinical practice remains a significant challenge (Bonet et al. 2017). Moreover, some studies have pointed out that percentages between 19–38% of patients have had negative experiences related to internet or cell phone usage, which may increase the risk of psychotic relapses (Bonet et al. 2018). In order to address these issues, we have developed an app called “ReMindCare” whose main objective is being simple, useful and automatically integrated into clinical practice. METHODS: ReMindCare is an app that collects the following information: a) Th…

[EN] Background: eHealth interventions are widely used in clinical trials and increasingly in care settings as well; however, their efficacy in real-world contexts remains unknown. ReMindCare is a smartphone app that has been systematically implemented in a first episode of psychosis program (FEPP) for patients with early psychosis since 2018. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of ReMindCare after 19 months of use in the clinic and varying use by individual patients. Methods: The integration of the ReMindCare app into the FEPP started in October 2018. Patients with early psychosis self-selected to the app (ReMindCare group) or treatment as usual (TAU group). T…

2021
[EN] Aim Despite the potential benefits of e-health interventions for patients with psychosis, the integration of these applications into the clinical workflow and analysis of their long-term effects still face significant challenges. To address these issues, we developed the ReMindCare app. This app aims to improve the treatment quality for patients with psychosis. We chose to study the app in real world and pragmatic manner to ensure results will be generalizable. Methods This is a naturalistic empirical study of patients in a first episode of psychosis programme. The app was purpose-designed based on two previous studies, and it offers the following assessments: (a) three daily questions…

S114. THE EFFICACY OF “URGENT CONSULTATION REQUEST”; PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF A REAL-WORLD APP (REMIDCARE) FOR EARLY PSYCHOSIS
2020
Abstract Background Patients are clamming for more personalized and closer clinical attention (Bonet et al. 2018). To this end, we developed RemindCare app. The app conducts daily and weekly assessments and this information is used to prevent relapses, to improve the therapeutic alliance and it is automatically included at the electronic clinical record of the hospital. Moreover, patients can contact clinicians by an “Urgent Consultation Request” (UCR), which is answered by a phone call in a period of 24-48h. This app was introduced in clinical practice in October 2018. Since then, 81 patients met criteria for inclusion and 57/81 (71%) started using the app. The aim of this study is to anal…
