First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a mobile app called MAYA that provides cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help adults who have had a stroke manage anxiety and depression. About 10 participants aged 40-79 will use the app and provide feedback on how easy and helpful it is. The goal is to see if the app is a practical tool for improving mood after a stroke.
