Smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Intervention for Suicide Prevention: a Randomised Clinical Trial

"The SmartSafe Ecological Momentary Intervention is contained in the MEmind smartphone application and consists of a Safety plan, an Enhanced contact via app (app-EC) intervention, and a mental toolbox. The Safety plan is a set of personalized coping strategies that the patient can use in a suicidal crisis. Our safety plan was adapted to a digital environment, including the possibility to activate pre-recorded messages, lead to websites with health resources, or put the patient in contact with the emergency services. The Enhanced contact via app (app-EC) intervention is inspired by the SIAM project and consists in messages that will be sent via the MEmind app inquiring patients about their mental well-being and informing them of the means to request preferential or urgent care. The mental toolbox contains videos relaxation techniques videos and behavioral activation and mentalization exercises."
