About this app

• 2024 Pick: Best Meditation App by Healthline, The New York Times Wirecutter, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated

Well-being is a skill that can be learned. We’re here to guide you along the way.

Backed by four decades of research from world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson and the team at Humin (formerly Healthy Minds Innovations) & the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, the Healthy Minds Program trains your mind through meditation and podcast-style lessons to develop skills for gaining focus, reducing stress, and maintaining positive social connections.

Research with the Healthy Minds App showed that just 5 minutes a day of practice leads to a 28% reduction in stress, an 18% reduction in anxiety, a 24% reduction in depression, and a 13% increase in social connection.

Featuring our scientific Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose, Well-being Framework, the Healthy Minds Program is a holistic, all-encompassing meditation app that offers the best of both guided meditations and opportunities to learn. You’ll learn simple skills to enhance personal well-being, build healthy relationships, and improve communication, performance, and creativity.

this is an exceptional app and the founders and creators are world leading in creating better mental health and unity for this world. the research that has gone into it makes it even more a must for anyone. I have meditated for 30years plus now and I am still learning so much from their app. my biggest learning is that meditation is easier then you think, should not be complicated and can be incorporated into any lifestyle and daily activity.

Came upon this after the creator gave a talk to a meditation symposium. Fantastic app, seems so far to work well on my android. My only suggestion is, as a natural introvert, the emphasis is on connecting with others, while some of us are better in solitude. Personally, too much human interaction depletes my energy, while solitude restores it. Used this for a couple of months, I find that I fall asleep almost immediately and so I haven't had much benefit, as I don't know it can replay.

I absolutely love this app. It is truly amazing and I actually find that it is the best mediation app, seriously, compared to others. Even the paid ones. It is more insightful, allowing you to understand yourself better and offers a wider range of meditation exercises, with them ranging anywhere from 1 minute to 20 minutes. I can't recommend it enough.
