Summary
This study explores whether a mobile app called FlowMD can help adults with mild anxiety. Participants use the app for 1-5 minutes of guided breathwork each day for four weeks. Surveys measure changes in anxiety levels and how easy the app is to use. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and effective for managing anxiety.
