The impact of mobile health interventions on patients with schizophrenia: a meta-analysis
mHealth interventions demonstrate a slight but definite positive effect on improving positive symptoms in schizophrenia. However, they show no significant effect on improving depressive symptoms. While a higher incidence of adverse events was reported in the intervention group, this finding should be interpreted with caution as it may be influenced by enhanced detection through digital monitoring (surveillance bias).
