About Healthy Minds Program
The Healthy Minds Program is a meditation app from Humin (formerly Healthy Minds Innovations), a nonprofit linked to the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Center for Healthy Minds. It offers short guided and unguided meditations, podcast-style lessons organised around awareness, connection, insight and purpose, 'active' practices you can do while walking or doing chores, wellbeing assessments and Apple Health mindful minutes. It is free with no subscription and funded by donations. The app has been tested in randomized trials: in a 2020 trial of 343 adults, eight weeks of the app reduced psychological distress more than a waitlist, and in a 2022 trial with over 600 school-system employees during COVID-19 it reduced distress compared with a waitlist.
