Summary

This study tests whether adding real-time breathing feedback to a meditation app helps young adults (ages 18–30) with psychological distress improve their mindfulness skills. Participants complete 14 short guided meditation sessions on their phone while their breathing and movement are tracked. Some participants see a graph of their physiological responses and predicted mindfulness scores. The main goal is to see if users find the breathing feedback feature satisfying and easy to use.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a smartphone meditation program with respiration biosignal feedback
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make meditation apps more effective by giving users real-time feedback on their breathing and mindfulness progress.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage usability study, so results may not apply broadly. The breathing feedback feature might not improve satisfaction or skills more than standard meditation.
