Brief Summary

Integrating ICT in health promotion has been suggested to offer many advantages compared to traditional approaches to promote well-being. Research has shown the positive effects of a body-mind-spirit (BMS) approach in enhancing health and well-being. We will develop and assess a pilot trial involving a holistic BMS approach to promote positive emotion change, emotion regulation and self-awareness through an ICT-supported program in a community setting.
