Art and friends: new app eases caregiver stress
NCT ID NCT07337148
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new online platform where caregivers can create digital paintings, share them with others, and check their emotions. 727 caregivers in Hong Kong used the platform for 8 weeks. The goal was to see if it helps them feel less depressed, anxious, or stressed and more willing to seek help. Results will show if this kind of technology can support mental health.
