Introduction: The notion of electronic mental health care is suggested in today's world. With the aid of this care, people's talents are no longer limited by time or location, and those in need of mental health care can get these services by downloading and installing software on their mobile devices. The Cognogene application software has been created to provide electronic mental health services on the smartphone platform. This study aimed to measure the impact of the mobile app “Cognogene” on university students' communication skills.
Method: The statistical population of this study included 104 students studying at Tehran University in the winter semester (2021-2022). They were randomly divided into two 54-member groups (experimental and control). The experimental group received electronic psychological education (consisting of short video clips, daily homework, motivational letters, etc.) in 21 sessions, while the control group did not. To collect data, Queen Dom's communication skills questionnaire was used in two stages: pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance.
Results: Results showed that the intervention made a significant difference in the mean score of all components of the study of communication skills except the components of "receiving and sending messages" and "emotional control".
Conclusion: This finding suggests that training through the Cognogene application can be used as a complement to other training methods to improve communication skills
