AI camera app eases office pain and stress in new study
NCT ID NCT07571967
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an AI-assisted camera-based relaxation app in 60 office workers aged 20-40. The app guided users through progressive muscle relaxation exercises while using the camera to track movements. After 4 weeks, researchers measured changes in pain, stress, and work productivity. The goal is to see if this technology can help reduce common work-related muscle pain and stress.
