12-week Outcomes of a Mindfulness-Based Digital Intervention to Support Vulnerable and At-risk Patients During COVID-19

A study in conjunction with Royal Holloway, University of London has shown that using the Gro Health app for 12 weeks has been shown to improve mental health.

Research showed that adults who had joined the Gro Health app and had a complete baseline dataset (the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire) were followed up at 12 weeks, including 12.1% of app users who reported a positive COVID-19 diagnosis during the study period.

Outcomes demonstrated that participants improved mental health outcomes after 12 weeks:

  • 23% improvement in stress symptoms
  • 32% improvement in anxiety symptoms
  • 33% improvement in depression symptoms
