Furthermore, the app offers access to easy-to-navigate resources tailored to the patients’ requirements.

Patients can also seek help from their network, set check-ins and reminders and monitor their moods using the Bezyl app.

The app acts as a peer-support tool to aid patients to overcome anxiety, retain trial participation, adhere to the treatment and build mental strength.

Thread will provide the mental health app to trial sponsors as an optional solution delivered directly by Bezyl, under the collaboration.
