The project, called Utah SmartCare, is a grant-funded quality improvement project that aims to improve patient satisfaction and health outcomes while reducing costs for treating patients with mental illness through use of a smartphone app developed by Cambridge, Mass.-based Ginger.io. It will launch at six clinical sites, including three local mental health authorities and two health centers.
During initial implementation, the program will target 500 patients with co-morbid conditions or a mental illness plus a physical health condition such as hypertension. It is made possible through a grant from the Cambia Healthcare Foundation along with in-kind support from other local project partners.
