Additional Information

The purpose of the study is to determine how Wave’s app and coaching program can help people feel good and live well.

You may qualify for the study if you meet the following criteria.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Ages 18-65
  • Interested in getting support with your mental health, wellbeing needs, or achieving goals
  • Have not used Wave’s app or coaching before
  • No active psychosis, suicidal ideation, or self harm
  • No head injury in the past 3 months that required a doctor’s attention
  • Not currently pregnant
  • No history of delirium or dementia
  • Reside in the U.S. and fluent in English

If you decide to participate, you will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to one of two groups. Regardless of which group you’re assigned to, you’ll get access to Wave’s app and meet with a Wave coach for 6 sessions over approximately 6 weeks. However, one group gets immediate access to Wave; and the other gets access after 8 weeks.

Periodically during the study period, we will ask you to fill out several brief questionnaires. We estimate that these questionnaires will take 5-15 minutes to complete. All questionnaires are completed virtually.

Yes. When you fill out study questionnaires, you will receive $15. When you fill out the final set of questionnaires, you will receive $20. 

There is no cost for you to participate in our research study. The coaching sessions you receive with a Wave coach will be free.
