Forhelse seeks participants to a study for young people with anxiety
We have created an app called Modi. To see how well the app works, we’re looking for young people between the ages of 13 and 17 who live Bergen, and want to participate in a research study.
Published 11/26/2025
Modi is an app that consists of a simple chatbot called Anna. Participants receive weekly follow-ups from a therapist in the app over 8 weeks. If needed the therapist will also call the participants along the way.
The chatbot Anna will teach about
– what anxiety and worries are
– how to practice dealing with situations that you currently avoid
– various tools to improve your everyday life

The research project suits youths who
- Are between 13 and 17 years old
