Summary
This study tests a mobile health system (smartwatch and app) combined with a week-long cycling event to help veterans reduce stress and PTSD symptoms. Thirty-six veterans will use the system for two months and participate in the cycling challenge. The goal is to see if this approach lowers stress moments detected by the watch and improves self-reported anxiety and depression.
