In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of an app-based self-help intervention. Study participants were either randomly assigned to a group that had access to the app or a group that received access to the app after the end of the study. Although a larger proportion of participants in the intervention group showed a relevant improvement in quality of life, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. Less than one-fifth of participants in the intervention group attended at least half of all intervention sessions; patient feedback showed that patients required more personalization and interactive options.
