Research on this App
The Koa Health/Foundations team ran a four week study of adults (N=136; male=63, female=73, mean age=40;) with mild to severe anxiety and moderate to high levels of stress randomized to two groups. The Foundations group (n=62) used the app for four weeks, for the first two of which activities were prescribed, with free choice thereafter. The control group (n=74) received no intervention, only the surveys. Six outcomes were measured – stress (PSS-10); anxiety (GAD-7); sleep problems (MISS); life satisfaction (ONS-4); wellbeing (WHO-5); and resilience (CD-RISC-10). Foundations produced statistically significant greater improvements vs the control in all measures but stress. For stress, the improvement was statistically significant pre vs post intervention in those using Foundations.
