What this trial studies

This interventional study focuses on veterans with serious mental illness who are at high risk for hospitalization. It tests enhanced care coordination delivered through a mobile intervention that passively monitors mental health indicators and provides support from peer coaches within a VA behavioral health program. The goal is to detect worsening symptoms in real time and reduce the need for acute care services compared with usual care. The study design emphasizes co-design activities with veterans and clinicians to adapt the program for practical implementation in VA settings.
