Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week program of yoga and meditation delivered through a mobile app can reduce anxiety in adults with stable rheumatoid arthritis. About 100 participants will either use the app daily or continue with standard care. Researchers will measure changes in anxiety, stress, fatigue, and quality of life.
