ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new mobile app designed to help people with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder manage their medications better. The goal is to see if using this app is practical and if people find it helpful. The researchers want to understand if the app can make it easier for patients to take their medications regularly, which is important for their mental health.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between the ages of 18 and 60 and have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, but they should be in a stable condition for at least two months. Participants should also be able to read and understand either Malayalam or English. However, those with ongoing symptoms, a history of substance use (besides nicotine), or serious physical health issues will not be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to use the app and provide feedback about your experience, which will help researchers understand how to improve mental health support for people with these conditions.
