“BrainHeart”: Pilot Study on a Novel Application for Elderly Well-Being Based on Mindfulness Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Overview
This pilot study introduces the BrainHeart app, a mobile application designed for older adults to deliver a 10-day Mindfulness Acceptance and Commitment Therapy program alongside healthy lifestyle sections. The resource details a trial involving twenty participants who completed daily exercises, with outcomes measured through neuropsychological assessments and heart rate monitoring at baseline and one month post-intervention. It reports significant improvements in most neuropsychological scores and high usability, suggesting potential benefits for elderly well-being.
