NCT ID NCT07300410
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a 4-month app-based mental health program with coaching for 25 adults in Austria and Italy who felt stressed. Participants used the app for exercises, diaries, and bi-weekly video chats with a coach. The goal was to see if the program was easy to use and if it helped reduce distress and improve resilience.
