The 'Healthy Mind, Healthy You' study website is live again!

Hello MyApnea Community,

I would like to share two important updates about the 'Healthy Mind, Healthy You' study.

1. Study enrollment has been extended for 3-months. If you haven't already, you have until October 1, 2019 to sign-up!

2. The Healthy Mind, Healthy You website is currently down. I will update you all as soon as the server is back up. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this. Thank you for your patience!

Hey, that's great! It is a world wide study. Anyone can sign up through our site until August 1st. Let me know if any questions come up about enrolling or otherwise.

Thanks!

Everyone knows how bad stress can feel, but it can also worsen health problems like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, depression, cancer, and sleep. Join a new study that is designed to help cope with stress. Once you consent, you will be invited to complete an online mindfulness program hosted by MyApnea research partners.

Let me know if you have any questions! Or if you've already signed up, share your feedback!

Thank you HealthHackingWithNof1 for this interesting post and article!

Hello, There is not a limit (although I will double check with our web programmer!). But sometimes messages with lots of screenshots get caught in our spam filter. We usually are able to fix this within less than 24 hours. If a message of yours got lost and isnt reappearing, you can contact the support team over email, support@myapnea.org. Thanks for joining and contributing to MyApnea!

Hello, There is no way to privately contact another member through MyApnea. If you are comfortable sharing the content publicly, you can share the screenshot through a forum discussion. Otherwise, perhaps you and the other member can try to contact each other through a social media outlet that has a private messaging option. Best of luck!

Dear All, The research solicitation was removed and I want to explain why. MyApnea is committed to being a trustworthy, friendly space for people with sleep apnea. We work hard to want to make sure that the forum is run by YOU, the patients, not solicitations or even spam. Otherwise, there might quickly be an imbalance of content and dilute the great conversations that currently go on here among patients and stakeholders. We also want to make sure MyApnea members aren't vulnerable to phishing type attacks and giving their emails to bad actors.

With that said, we hope that MyApnea can also be a vehicle to advance our collective knowledge and understanding of sleep apnea through research. Even though we don't have researchers post on the forum, we are happy to work with legitimate groups to share opportunities for research on the blog (announcements category). This way we can filter some of the noise that comes through the forum, but still make sure we are telling the MyApnea community about legitimate and exciting research opportunities going on!

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks as always for your engagement, excitement, and mutual-generosity!

hahaha I'm loving the wordplay. Those are some good ideas. I'm adding your points about more detailed introductory information and "additional information" tags to the list of items for our team to consider. Thanks again for your thoughtful ideas, your engagement on the forum, and your contribution to the research!

So glad! Thank you for your feedback and for completing the surveys!
