This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing an app called MAYA that uses cognitive behavioral therapy—a proven talk-therapy approach—delivered through your smartphone to help reduce anxiety and depression. The study will follow 60 people age 40 and older for 12 weeks to see if the app is easy to use, acceptable to patients, and actually helps improve mood and anxiety symptoms.
Many older adults struggle to access mental health care because traveling to a therapist's office is difficult or impossible. This treatment offers a way to receive evidence-based therapy at home, on your own schedule, using just a smartphone.

You would use the MAYA app at least twice a week for at least 20 minutes each time, for 6 weeks. You would have brief check-in visits (in person or by video call) once a week to answer questions about how you're doing and whether the app is working for you. You would complete brief mood surveys at the start, week 3, week 6, and week 12. Optionally, you could have a brain activity recording at the beginning and end.
