Early psychosis service user views on digital remote monitoring: a qualitative study.
Trial report in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCurrent 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).
methodsQualitative 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).
resultsData were summarised into four key themes. The following three themes were established a priori: (1) awareness of mood and symptoms; (2) acceptability of ClinTouch; and (3) improvements and recommendations. The fourth theme was established a posteriori: (4) integrating ClinTouch into clinical practice. More specifically, participants felt ClinTouch was an acceptable and useful tool for symptom monitoring. ClinTouch facilitated an increased awareness of mood and symptoms, which enabled participants to self-reflect and develop understanding of their own experiences.
conclusionsThis study shed light on early psychosis service users' experiences with using the ClinTouch digital remote monitoring app. ClinTouch was viewed as acceptable for monitoring symptoms, safe and easy to use, showed potential of integration with clinical care, and facilitated increased awareness and understanding of symptoms. Improvements including personalised question items and interactive features were suggested. Future developments of digital remote monitoring apps should include a more refined item set and personalisation features.
