The Mindful Kidney: A Digital Mindfulness Intervention for Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study tests a digital mindfulness app called Calm Health among adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Participants will use the app for 6 weeks while wearing a wrist sensor that tracks sleep, physical activity, heart rate, and other health signals. The study will measure how acceptable and feasible the app is, and whether it may improve stress, anxiety, and quality of life. Participants will also receive health coaching and a personalized report showing how their mindfulness practice relates to their health data.
