Article Synopsis
- The study tested the efficacy of "juli," a digital self-management app for depression, in a remote randomized controlled trial involving 908 participants who self-identified as having depression.
- Participants were randomly assigned to either use the app for 8 weeks or a placebo app, with the main focus on changes in depression scores over time.
- Results showed that the juli group experienced a significant reduction in depression scores compared to the control group, with higher rates of remission and clinically meaningful improvement, but there were no significant differences in health-related quality of life or worsening of depression.
Background: Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions worldwide, with a substantial individual and health care burden. Digital apps hold promise as a highly accessible, low-cost method of enhancing self-management in asthma, which is critical to effective asthma control.
Objective: We conducted a fully remote randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy of juli, a commercially available smartphone self-management platform for asthma.
