Headspace Research
Headspace is the leading mental health companion — but the only way to know if we’re truly accomplishing that is to measure, test, and study its impact. That’s where our research comes in.
The largest body of research in digital mental health
Research has been an integral part of Headspace since day one. We are dedicated to studying everything in our app, from meditation to clinical services, to make sure it works for our members.
Studies show: Headspace works
There are thousands of studies that have shown mindfulness and meditation, coaching, therapy, and psychiatry can positively impact mental and physical health.
And we’ve studied it directly too. The proof is in the research: Headspace can make a big impact on people’s lives — and it doesn’t take long to see the benefits.
Advancing the fields of meditation and mindfulness
Published studies, external scientists, prestigious research organizations, and our science team have shown that Headspace can improve mental, emotional, and social health. We’re partnering with renowned national institutions on studies that could be some of the largest meditation trials ever conducted.
