Research on this App
In a study published in 2021, 218 year 1-5 dental students (mean age 21.4 years, 41.3% males, 58.7% females) were assigned to use Medito. Participants were required to complete the 10 min, 10 day introduction to mindfulness before using any other features. Participants were measured based on the features that were mostly used. Participants completed online surveys (using FFMQ-15 scale, RSA-33 scale, DASS-21 scale.) after 1 month of using the application. There was no significant difference between males and females at baseline in relation to stress, resilience, and mindfulness. 91.9% of the participants were highly stressed in the beginning, but were negatively correlated when mindfulness was practiced. (Rath et al., 2021)
