m-RESIST modules of intervention

Type of interversion Basal intervention Risk intervention
Aim Oriented to develop abilities to deal with symptoms and early warning signs, to reinforce the involvement in the treatment plan, and to solve problems influenced by an unhealthy lifestyle. Oriented to deal with possible situations of worsening (eg, detection of risk behaviours).
Modules Integrated by three modules: symptoms management, treatment adherence and healthy lifestyle. Integrated by one module: risk.
Core elements Relapse signature identification, coping strategies selection. Risk scale.
Activation triggers External trigger: any of the modules can be activated by clinicians through the web-based platform (m-RESIST dashboard). Internal trigger: when the system itself detects risk situations such as significant changes in threshold of specific sensor data.
External trigger: patients or caregivers ask for help by the app’s alarm bottom.
Actions involved Delivery of a basic set of questions by the app, to measure patients’ clinical status and appropriate follow-up questions or recommendations depending on the patients’ answers; use of reminders and psychoeducational content to help patients. Delivery of appropriate questions, to check patient’s current condition and to send specific recommendations messages or notifications depending on the patients’ answers (by the app).
