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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Digital mental health program with coaching (app-based cognitive-behavioral exercises and bi-weekly video coaching sessions)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a scalable, app-based way to reduce stress and improve mental well-being in adults.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study (25 people) with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The program requires significant time and motivation, and benefits may not last.
