A new digital therapeutic, CT-155, has shown promise in reducing negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
Developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and Click Therapeutics, CT-155 is a smartphone app that uses adaptive goal-setting techniques to deliver psychosocial interventions.
No significant adverse events were reported when CT-155 was administered with an antipsychotic treatment.
