Do #mindfulness apps work (aka shift processes supposed to change after mindfulness practice)? Our review suggests they often do, but more res needed. Grateful to my team led by John Torous, MD MBI & to amazing Teachers College, Columbia University & Regina Miranda, Ph.D. (Miranda Lab) RAs! nature.com/articles/s4418… #mhealth

Extremely excited to announce that we received Notice of Award for a center grant from NIH. It will support us to create a public data hub for complementary and integrative medicine RCTs, generate high-quality reviews and resources for the field, and guide evidence-based policy.

This week, we're learning from psychologist and contemplative researcher Simon Goldberg, PhD of Center for Healthy Minds. Tune in for a conversation on coming to practice through one’s own suffering, the critical role of acceptance, and more! podcast.mindandlife.org/simon-goldberg/

Thrilled to share that our paper on informal meditation practice has now been published in Behaviour Research and Therapy! OpenAcademics #InformalPractice #Compassion #LovingKindness #MobileHealth #Mechanism Link to the paper: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ivXh1KMdhCU0

A big shoutout to our incredible team, Simon Goldberg, PhD, Kevin Riordan, Drs. Scott Baldwin, Otto Simonsson, Matthew Hirshberg, Cortland Dahl, Inbal Nahum-Shani, and Richard Davidson, for making this study possible!

New study led by Qiang Xie found informal compassion practice may reduce distress and loneliness for distressed undergrads. Effects emerged in pre-post and daily diary measures. Bringing meditation practice into daily life may really make a difference. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ivXh1KMdhCU0

My response to Matthew Parris on mental health science and innovation

Had a great time chatting mindfulness, psychotherapy, and science with Daniel Cox on his Psychotherapy and Applied Psychology Podcast! Somehow he's able to make zoom feel like a cozy couch on a screened in porch.

Honored to lead this work and pleased to see it published with The Lancet Digital Health. We reviewed 34 meta-analyses (235 RCTs) of digital phone interventions for patients with chronic diseases. Research gaps, both on meta-analytic and RCT levels, are summarized.

A lot has changed in digital mental health since our 2021 review. Our 2025 review is designed to catch you up on all things apps, VR, AI, chatbots, implementation, equity, and lived experience voices. Free in World Psychiatry: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wp…
