Summary

This study looked at whether a mobile app called Stressometer can help measure stress in healthy university students. Thirty students used the app four times a day for two weeks to rate their stress. Researchers then compared those ratings to results from standard stress, anxiety, and depression questionnaires to see if the app gives similar information.
