Prescribing laughter to increase well-being in healthy adults: An exploratory mixed methods feasibility study of the Laughie

Ten participants found their laughter self-contagious. Smart laughter (laughing in a smart way for a smart reason on a smartphone) is a convenient way to harness the benefits of laughter.
