Personal Zen is a 'micro-intervention' for the 40 million people currently struggling with stress and anxiety each year. Using Personal Zen just a few minutes a day, several days a week helps reduce stress and anxiety and builds stress resilience over time.
"Low access to treatment, high cost of treatments, and stigma often result in less diagnosis, limited early intervention and higher expenses for mental health in today's healthcare system," says Raj Amin, co-founder of Wise Therapeutics. "It's our mission at Wise to put science-backed innovative treatments in the palm of your hand and fit these tools into people's lives."
