First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app called Bodhi AIM can help youth aged 13–20 who are on probation or in related legal programs improve their psychological wellbeing and reduce distress. Participants use the app for one month, following daily guided meditations. The trial takes place across multiple sites in Oregon and New York and focuses on whether young people will stick with the program.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
mindfulness meditation app (Bodhi AIM)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a simple, scalable tool to help youth in the legal system manage stress and improve mental health.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 120 participants, so it may not prove the app actually improves wellbeing. Adherence to daily meditation may be low.
