An online mindfulness platform reduced anxiety, depression, and stress in adults with chronic diseases. In a randomized trial, 97 patients were assigned to either an online mindfulness program or a control group. Anxiety scores dropped significantly at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the intervention. Depression and stress levels were significantly lower at 8 weeks, but not at 4 weeks. The findings suggest that online mindfulness can be an effective non-pharmacological option for managing mental health symptoms in this population.
