Using a mindfulness app for four weeks is feasible for mothers of children with medical complexity and reduces depressive symptoms while improving family functioning. Eight mothers participated in the entire pilot study, completing questionnaires before and after the intervention. The findings suggest that mindfulness apps may help address stress and depression in this population, though larger studies are needed.
