Part of Heart & circulation, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a mobile app that teaches mindfulness to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression after an ICU stay. If you had a serious illness that required intensive careestrías, this might help you cope better at home.
