Mental illnesses, such as psychotic disorders, have a great impact on individuals affected and on society, being one of the leading causes of disability [1]. In addition, 60% of people with such problems remain without access to mental health care and, in particular, rehabilitation programs, impairing their functionality, quality of life and social inclusion [2]. This is mainly due to the lack of resources to allow access to a comprehensive and early intervention, dedicated to not only to control symptoms, but also to enable people to live satisfactorily in the contexts they choose to live, work and socialize, enhancing their life project. With the increased economic pressure on mental health services, mHealth could reduce treatment gaps, reduce waiting time for patients and deliver interventions at lower costs. Technology advocates altering how health care is delivered in general, and in particular for chronic diseases like mental illnesses.
