DIRECT

Developed by Freie Universität Berlin, it connects enrolled participants through secure ID-based enrollment. Eligible users can download DIRECT to access study workflows on mobile. The app targets participants, not general therapy seekers. Below are the essentials.

Secure ID Enrollment and Study Linking

This feature uses an official Study ID or personal Participant ID to enroll you in the correct university study. After opening the registration screen, you enter the code exactly as provided and submit it. The system matches your entry to your assigned study and enables mobile access to relevant materials. Accuracy matters because the ID determines study linkage and permissions. DIRECT supports straightforward ID submission and confirms enrollment within the app.

Access is restricted to participants with valid IDs, so there is no open sign-up. If you do not have a code, contact your practitioner or the university’s recruitment team to obtain one. When an entered ID fails, recheck spelling and letter case and confirm the code’s validity before trying again.

Participant-Centered Workflow Access

Once enrolled, the app aligns mobile access with study-specific workflows and timelines. You may see instructions or prompts tied to sessions, surveys, or check-ins defined by the study team. Tasks appear only to eligible participants, keeping focus on your assigned program. DIRECT presents these items in a structured way so you can focus on what comes next.

Real use often looks like brief mobile steps: read a message, complete a scheduled activity, and wait for the next instruction. If a study pauses or changes, updates typically arrive through the same channel that recruited you or within the app’s messages. This approach keeps participation predictable without overwhelming you with unrelated content.

Practitioner and Recruitment Guidance Integration

Guidance flows from official university recruitment channels or directly from your practitioner. You enter the participant ID they provide, and the app links your account to the corresponding study. This setup supports structured, supervised participation instead of self-directed therapy. DIRECT respects clinical boundaries by deferring to practitioner instructions and study protocols.

In practical terms, a practitioner might share your timeline for engagement, check-in frequency, or pause periods. You use the app to follow those directions rather than seek general advice. When questions arise, the right contact remains your practitioner or the study coordinator, not app support for clinical matters.

Clear Health Disclaimer and Scoped Use

The app features an explicit disclaimer stating it is not a substitute for medical or psychological diagnosis, advice, or treatment. This reminder helps set expectations and protects users from confusing research participation with clinical care. If you need help outside study tasks, seek professional support through appropriate channels. DIRECT keeps research and support workflows separate from clinical decision-making.

This scoped design avoids offering open therapeutic tools to the public. It targets participants who already meet study criteria and have a valid ID. Users benefit from clarity around role and responsibility while participating in academic research.
