AI-Guided Stress Management Breathing Practices Via a Wearable Device

This study explores the effectiveness of AI-guided breathing practices for stress management in adults. In this randomized controlled trial, 120 participants will be recruited and assigned to an intervention group (n=90) or a control group (n=30). The study includes four brief breathing practices, guided by a wristband. The intervention group will interact with an AI chatbot to receive a personalized daily breathing plan for 28 days, adjusted weekly based on feedback. Meanwhile, the control group will practice progressive muscle relaxation daily. It is hypothesized that, the intervention group will have significantly improvements in stress management and emotion regulation skills compare to the control group. These group differences are expected to persist at 1-month, 3-month and 6-month follow-up assessment.
