Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app that combines digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with personal mental health coaching can reduce anxiety in adults with hearing or mobility disabilities. Participants use either the active program or a sham version for 8 weeks, with follow-up at 12 weeks. The goal is to see if a fully remote, accessible tool can provide lasting anxiety relief for a group that often faces extra barriers to mental health care.
