Interventions

  • AI-Enabled Mobile App-Based Mindfulness Intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    This intervention is an 8-week, AI-enabled mobile app-based mindfulness program specifically designed for older Korean immigrants. It delivers culturally and linguistically tailored mindfulness content through a smartphone application, including guided meditation, breathing exercises, sound-based relaxation, and brief reflective activities. Participants are encouraged to engage with the intervention for approximately 10-15 minutes per day, with flexibility to support individual preferences and technology familiarity. A distinguishing feature of this intervention is the integration of an artificial intelligence-based personalization system that uses physiological signals (e.g., photoplethysmography-derived stress indicators) to assess users' real-time stress levels and deliver tailored mindfulness content. The intervention is designed to enhance accessibility by reducing common barriers such as language, stigma, and limited access to culturally appropriate mental health services.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial (single-arm pilot trial) is to learn whether a mobile application-based mindfulness intervention can improve mental health outcomes in older Korean immigrants aged 60 years and older. The main questions it aims to answer are whether the 8-week mobile app-based mindfulness intervention is feasible and acceptable, as indicated by recruitment, retention, and adherence rates, and whether participation in the intervention leads to improvements in positive psychological well-being (e.g., positive affect, optimism, life engagement, and mindfulness) and reductions in adverse mental health outcomes (e.g., anxiety, depressive symptoms, and perceived stress). Participants will complete baseline and post-intervention assessments, receive training on how to use the mobile mindfulness application, engage with the app for approximately 8 weeks (recommended 10-15 minutes per day), and participate in weekly check-ins to support engagement and address any challenges encountered during the intervention.

Arms

  • Experimental: Artificial Intelligence-Based Mobile Mindfulness Intervention
    Participants in this arm will receive an 8-week AI-enabled mobile app-based mindfulness intervention designed to promote psychological well-being and reduce mental health symptoms. The intervention is delivered through a smartphone application and includes guided mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, sound-based relaxation, and brief reflective activities. Participants will be encouraged to engage with the application for approximately 10-15 minutes per day throughout the intervention period. At the start of the study, participants will receive an orientation session on how to download and use the application. The application incorporates an artificial intelligence-based feature that utilizes physiological signals (e.g., photoplethysmography-derived stress indicators) to provide personalized mindfulness content tailored to the user's stress levels. Weekly check-ins will be conducted to support adherence, address technical issues, and encourage continued engagement. All partic
