Meditation app aims to help veterans (or anyone) tackle anxiety, loneliness

Those dealing with sleep issues, pain, anger, loneliness, or anxiety after serving in the military or transitioning out can turn to a new meditation app for help.

The Bravo Tango Brain Training app was designed specifically for (US) veterans with the guidance of a former Air Force psychologist and combat vet. The voice-powered app uses Google Assistant and helps reduce stress with meditation, breathing, and mindfulness prompts. It was released this week in honour of Veteran's Day.

After asking, "OK, Google, start Bravo Tango," users can begin talking to the app. Tell it, "I'm feeling lonely" or "I'm in pain," and it will respond accordingly and bring up an appropriate exercise based on the real-time conversation.

The app is available now through the Google Assistant app on Google Home devices and on Android devices. Valdovinos hopes the veteran community will discover the app and integrate it into their self-care practices.
