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). |
