This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new smartphone app designed specifically for people with chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or hives. The app teaches evidence-based mental health techniques—such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy—to help reduce severe itching, sleep problems, anxiety, and depression. Researchers want to see whether this personalized, automated app can meaningfully improve quality of life when used on your own.
People with chronic skin diseases often suffer from severe itching and poor sleep, which can lead to anxiety and depression, but most mental health apps available today haven't been properly tested for skin disease patients. This trial aims to fill that gap by evaluating whether this treatment can actually help.

If you're randomly assigned to the treatment group, you'll download and use the specialized skin-disease app on your own schedule—it's fully automated and self-directed. If you're in the comparison group, you'll use a general health app provided by Singapore's government. Both groups will likely complete assessments at the start and end of the study to measure changes in itching, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life.
