Jaan

Tension Release Technique Meditation Delivered Through a Mobile App

Role

Lead designer

Context

Jaan is a meditation app for the growing number of people living with psychosomatic anxiety and attention deficit disorders.

Challenges

Many struggle with conventional therapy and need an alternative that fits into daily life and delivers tangible benefits over time. Yet mainstream mental health solutions rarely combine Eastern mysticism with modern therapeutic techniques.

Solution

Jaan combines Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) with Tension Release Technique Meditation to help users manage stress, reduce anxiety and improve focus. A personalized journey adapts to each user group, so it works for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.

Impact

Users report significant improvements in managing psychosomatic symptoms and staying focused.

The most significant effect has been how, after the exercises, I can let go of the constant rush and stress that has been a part of my life.

Sarah

The more I practice, the more I see myself, and everything becomes clearer.

Ansieh

With Jaan's meditation and mindfulness exercises, I've had the experience of observing my thoughts and emotions without identifying with them.

Emaad

I'm here and now, far away from the anxiety caused by the past and the uncertainty of the future.

Tania

If you want to find some calm, I honestly recommend this app.
