Introduction

Mental health is an essential part of overall well-being. It refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being and affects how we think, feel, and act (Walsh, 2011). Mental health impacts our ability to handle stress, make decisions, build relationships, and cope with the challenges of daily life. Good mental health allows us to enjoy life, feel fulfilled, and achieve our full potential. On the other hand, poor mental health can lead to a range of mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and others. These conditions can have a significant impact on our lives and make it challenging to function in our daily activities. Therefore, taking care of our mental health is crucial for our overall health and well-being.

Oomy is a decentralized mobile application designed to help users improve their mental health through a lot of activities including meditation. The app offers guided meditations that are tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences. By using the app regularly, users can reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and concentration, and increase their overall sense of well-being. Oomy also offers a reward system that encourages users to meditate regularly and engage in other positive behaviors that contribute to better mental health. The app’s meditation feature makes it a powerful tool for anyone looking to improve their mental health.

Benefits of Meditation

Meditation has been practiced for centuries and is becoming increasingly popular as a tool for improving mental health. Studies have shown that regular meditation can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress (Monk-Turner, 2003). Meditation can also improve focus and attention, increase self-awareness, and enhance overall feelings of well-being. By training the mind to focus on the present moment, meditation can help individuals become more aware of negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Regular meditation practice can lead to improved emotional regulation, greater resilience to stress, and a more positive outlook on life.

Numerous scientific studies have shown that meditation can have positive effects on mental health. For example, a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine (2014) found that meditation can be as effective as antidepressant medication in treating symptoms of depression and anxiety. Another study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice found that meditation can be an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Other studies have found that meditation can reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being (Davidson & McEwen, 2012). A review of 47 studies published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that meditation can be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain.

Overall, much scientific research supports the effectiveness of meditation as a tool for improving mental health. By incorporating meditation into their daily routine, individuals can benefit from its positive effects on their mental well-being.

The app also tracks the user’s progress towards their goals and provides reminders to encourage consistent practice. This feature makes it easier for users to incorporate meditation into their daily routines and improve their mental health over time.

When users log their daily emotions, Oomy will recommend some activities including meditation to improve their mood. Oomy also rewards users each time they finish a meditation session.
