Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The MACS app assesses and intervenes by fostering increased treatment adherence (medication/appointments) and self-coping with illness (active, planned, problem-solving focused) to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Additionally, MACS encourages participants who are already reporting adherence and healthy coping by using positive reinforcement strategies to maintain efforts and promote additional goal setting. MACS app strategies are linked to participants' specific assessment responses, allowing for a highly personalized self-management intervention experience. The MACS app provides interactive exercises delivered by the device designed to teach patients coping skills that they can use now and in the future.
