SIMON MobileCoach Client app for iPhone and iPad

In our project, we aim to use psychological theory to design digital indices and test their ability to predict suicide ideation and psychiatric hospital readmission in high-risk individuals: psychiatric patients after discharge.

For this project, we will install an app on participants smartphones, which will be running for 4 weeks after they are discharged from the hospital.

EMA: This app will ask participants questions about suicidal ideation and relevant psychological variables 5 times a day for 4 consecutive weeks.

Passive mobile sensing: The app will also contain passive mobile sensing, registering variables such as walking time and space, general activity, time not moving/at home and social connectedness.
(This module is under development)

Digital coach: The app will have a digital coach (SIMON) who guides participants through the whole process.
