About this app

The SIPI app has been developed for people with various complaints who can benefit from an identification plan or relapse prevention plan during their path to recovery. The offline version of this plan has been a permanent fixture in mental health care for years and is scientifically substantiated. People also map out their own sources of stress. Using 3 different phases - green, orange and red - the client describes the signals per phase and how the environment can best act. People also think about how they can enter or remain in the green phase.

SIPI provides the digital translation of that early detection plan in an easily accessible app and desktop version. The system with the different phases and associated colors is integrally incorporated into the application. The app is intended to be quickly at hand and thus be able to quickly provide support in difficult moments. This also encourages users to work proactively and score at regular intervals. Making timely use of alternative strategies increases the chance that crisis behavior will not occur.

Ideas around stress reduction are predefined in the app, but the intention is that additions are made by the user himself so that it becomes a tailor-made plan. This way you can upload your own photos, add your own music and write down contacts. We recommend completing the app at a time when people are not in crisis, so you have the best view of what your signals are, what can help, ...

Once in use, the app provides a personal overview of which moments proved to be (very) difficult. This provides insight into what repeat patterns may exist and how one can work to prevent them.
The app can be used independently or with a care provider from within our hospital. You can use it during your admission but also after you have been discharged.

You can download SIPI for free in the Android and iOS app stores. However, a unique passcode is required to activate the app on the user's phone or tablet.

SIPI is not a substitute for professional assistance. If you are struggling with difficult feelings or situations, contact a professional counselor. A conversation with your GP can be a first step.

SIPI was developed in collaboration with the psychiatric clinic Sint-Jozef Pittem.
