The smartphone app Rejoyn, by Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, for people with at least moderate depression, was the first to be FDA cleared for mental health, even though it didn't fulfill the clinical trail's primary endpoint.

Many of these are indexed at mindapps.org. [2025] - Eric Topol

This makes sense since a good golf swing requires not only balance, with precise control of the head and body in relationship to the legs, but coordinated muscle activity throughout the swing. [2015] - Vonda Wright
