Primary

MeasureTime frame
The following primary outcome measures will be assessed before and 4 months after the use of the application: 1. Blood pressure measured using a normalized sphygmomanometer 2. Heart rate frequency was average measured using an oximeter 3. Sleep problems measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) 4. Health-related quality of life measured using the EuroQol EQ-5D 5. Mood measured using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) 6. Anxiety measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
