Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (BIDMC) received a $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), effective June 19, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2031. The award funds a rigorous, remote-based research study assessing the efficacy of mindfulness applications in treating depression through a precision medicine framework. The research will employ a randomized controlled design comparing matched mindfulness app interventions against digital placebo controls across a 12-week study period, with an initial six-week phase of guided daily usage followed by six weeks of naturalistic usage patterns. The study will deliver comprehensive behavioral and clinical assessment products, including the collection of smartphone-based digital phenotype data capturing sleep patterns, physical activity, screen time, environmental exposure, and longitudinal ecological momentary assessment of symptoms. These data will generate personalized and predictive response models designed to elucidate factors impacting mindfulness app efficacy and inform future personalized app development. The research addresses the critical gap between widespread adoption of mental health apps and the lack of rigorous scientific evidence supporting their clinical effectiveness, providing evidence-based insights applicable to digital mental health interventions.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
