What this study is about

This study investigates the impact of a mindfulness-based intervention using virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) coaching on stress reduction. Participants will engage in VR-based observation mindfulness activities guided by an AI coach. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention compared to a standard relaxation process by measuring self-reported stress levels, physiological biomarkers (e.g., heart rate), and participant satisfaction. The research could inform the development of future digital mental health interventions.
