ABSTRACT
Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are experienced by approximately 70 % of patients with schizophrenia and are frequently associated with high levels of distress. Therefore, alleviating hallucinations is an important therapeutic challenge. However, for prescribing a personalized treatment adapted to the patient, an accurate and detailed assessment of AVH is necessary. Until now, there have been no self-evaluations; instead, only scales based on observer ratings have been used to assess AVH. Nevertheless, self-assessments may enhance patient symptom awareness and increase their insight and involvement in the treatment, promoting empowerment (Eisen et al., 2000). In this context, a mobile app called MIMO was devised in order to monitor AVHs assessed by the patients themselves. This app, including the Self-assessment of Auditory verbal Hallucinations (SAVH-https//sns-dollfus.com/), was devised as an ecological momentary assessment tool. The present study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of this app.
