Read our Depression research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests Blueprint, a mobile app designed to teach coping skills to people who have recently survived a serious heart or lung condition like severe pneumonia or heart failure. The app provides 4 weeks of guided lessons and tools to help manage depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and worry that often develop after a frightening hospital stay. Researchers want to see if this treatment can improve emotional well-being and quality of life better than receiving educational videos alone.
Many people who survive life-threatening heart and lung conditions experience serious emotional struggles like depression and anxiety that make their recovery harder. However, mental health care is often difficult to access, especially for people from communities that have faced healthcare inequities. This study aims to test whether an app-based coping skills program can help fill this gap and provide support to a broader and more diverse group of survivors.

If you join, you will be randomly assigned to either the coping skills app or an education program. Both groups will use a mobile app for 4 weeks, watching videos and completing brief check-in surveys each week. You'll also receive a printed workbook with additional materials. The study will follow you for 6 months after you leave the hospital to see how you're doing emotionally and how well you're recovering.
