Brief Summary:
90 of Asian workers report high levels of stress in an always-on culture Stress and burnout are risk factors that account for 10-20 of health expenditure and threaten work longevity in the worlds fastest growing economies Traditional face-to-face sources of mental care such as counseling and psychotherapy are effective as a countermeasure to stress but not always accessible or acceptable for those with busy lifestyles Because of this there is an urgent need for on-demand scalable interventions to reduce stress and improve mental and physical well being Technology-based solutions are increasingly being proposed to fill this need

In this study the investigators will recruit 200 participants in a randomized controlled design with 100 receiving access to content of the MindFi app and 100 receiving access to a version containing music tracks for relaxation Each intervention will last 4 weeks Participants will use these apps for a period of 5 weeks for a minimum of 10 minutes per day Pre- and post-intervention the investigators will measure self-reported ratings on a number of psychological variables and will track sleep quality objectively for a one-week period
