Onset of First Episode Psychosis (FEP) is at a young age and is a critical period influencing the long-term course of the disorder. Failure to identify FEP can lead to serious implications such as disruption of education, reduced long-term employment, huge economic burden, and is associated with significantly higher mortality. The prevalence of psychosis increases rapidly from age 14 onwards with a peak incidence in the late teens and early 20s. The aim of the project is to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a mobile phone application-based intervention 'TechCare-PK', for individuals with psychosis in Pakistan. The main objectives are to determine whether appropriate individuals could be identified and recruited to the study and whether the TechCare App would be an acceptable intervention for individuals with psychosis.
