First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app called Healthy Minds Program can help reduce stress in people caring for a loved one with dementia. 93 stressed caregivers used either the Healthy Minds app or a wellness podcast app for a few weeks. The main goal was to see if using the app was practical and if caregivers liked it, and to get early signs of whether it might lower stress and improve mood.
