Summary
This study tested whether a mobile app with educational videos could help people with a tracheostomy feel less depressed, adapt socially, and recover better. 45 adults who had a tracheostomy and could use a smartphone took part. Some got the app plus standard care, while others got standard care alone. The study measured depression, social adaptation, and quality of recovery using questionnaires.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve emotional well-being and recovery for people with a tracheostomy.
