Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app that combines digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with personal mental health coaching can reduce anxiety in adults with hearing or mobility disabilities. Participants use either the active program or a sham version for 8 weeks, with follow-up at 12 weeks. The goal is to see if a fully remote, accessible tool can provide lasting anxiety relief for a group that often faces extra barriers to mental health care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) plus mental health coaching
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a scalable, remote anxiety treatment tailored for people with disabilities who face unique barriers to care.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with a sham comparator, and results may not generalize beyond the specific disability groups or program design.
