N2 - Objective: The authors examined patients' acceptance of the Health Technology Program (HTP), an integrative approach to relapse prevention after hospitalization of adults with schizophrenia or related disorders. The program combines use of digital tools with support from a mental health technology coach (MHTC). Methods: Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders received six months of treatment that began within 60 days of a psychiatric hospitalization and included the development of a personalized relapse prevention plan, three digital tools, and contacts with MHTCs. Results: Atotal of 200 patients (mean6SDage=34.6610.6 years) had 28.262.0 contacts with the MHTC that lasted 38.3614.2 minutes. The most discussed topic was casemanagement (52%), and digital tools were discussed in 45% of meetings. Altogether, 87% of patients used at least one of the digital tools, with 96% of patients rating the HTP as satisfying to at least some extent. Conclusions: These data suggest very high acceptance of the HTP, a program that integrates available human support with digital tools.
