Summary

The proposed study is a block-randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effects of a digital meditation and mindfulness practice on mental health in patients with non-infectious uveitis.

Detailed description

Non-infectious uveitis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease of the eye that can occur alone or be associated with other autoimmune diseases. This chronic condition can be isolating and complex for patients to manage, leading to increased rates of anxiety and depression symptoms in uveitis patients compared to the general population. In collaboration with Calm Health, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of Calm Health's meditation, mindfulness, and clinical programs in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as perceived stress, in patients. Overall, the investigators aim to collect data on the value of supplementing medical care with an accessible digital mental health resource.
