ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring a new app called "EmoGuía" that aims to help adults with emotional disorders manage their treatment more effectively. The goal of the study is to see if this app can successfully track patients' progress while they engage in an online psychological program designed to address various emotional challenges. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, but it will be focusing on adults aged 18 and older who have certain levels of anxiety or depression, as well as those showing specific emotional difficulties.

To be eligible for the study, participants must be able to read and understand Spanish, have internet access on both a computer and a mobile phone, and be willing to sign an online consent form. However, individuals under 18, those with severe mental health issues, or those currently receiving treatment for the same emotional problems will not be able to participate. If you join the study, you can expect to use the EmoGuía app to monitor your feelings and experiences as you work through the online program, helping you and your healthcare providers better understand your emotional health journey.
