Mobile app to reduce physical symptoms from stress
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with somatic symptom disorder—a condition where stress and emotional distress cause ongoing physical symptoms that don't have a clear medical explanation. The app sends you check-ins and guidance throughout your day to help reduce these symptoms.
