First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested two ways to help adults with anxiety and depression become more aware of their emotions and learn to rethink them. One group used a smartwatch to track emotions in real time, while the other reflected on their day each evening. Over six weeks, both groups showed improvements in anxiety, depression, and emotional well-being. The study was small and early-stage, so more research is needed to confirm the results.
