Bocconi study tests a personalized audio app to support student well-being
The app asks students a short set of questions and then suggests audio tracks tailored to their needs.
It is part of a study at Bocconi involving a university community of more than 16,000 students.
The project explores whether cultural experiences, such as listening to music, can support mental well-being.
It does not report results showing that the app reduces stress or anxiety.
InsideArts and Bocconi University have developed an app called InsideArts – A Meditation Playlist for students.
The app uses answers to a short initial questionnaire to identify a student's profile and needs, then recommends selected audio tracks.
The tracks are intended to support concentration, relaxation and emotional balance.
The project is part of PRO-BEN, a national programme promoted by Italy's Ministry of University and Research to support university students' psychological and physical wellbeing.
The study is aimed at a university community of more than 16,000 students.
The article cites World Health Organization figures stating that about one in seven people aged 10 to 19 worldwide lives with a mental disorder.
