Anxiety is one of the main disorders affecting university students, partly due to
the current predominant pace of life and the competitive environment of the university.
In this sense, the use of technology to reduce anxiety is one of the main tools available to
university students. In order to analyze the current situation of the university population
with respect to anxiety levels, both state anxiety and risk anxiety, the State-Trait Anxiety
Inventory Questionnaire (STAI) was used and applied to a sample of four hundred and fifty
students at the University of Burgos, ensuring the representativeness of this population by
means of non-probabilistic sampling. Descriptive research has been carried out to determine
the levels of anxiety of students at the University of Burgos. Likewise, the benefits of
different studies on the application of technology to reduce anxiety are presented, as well
as the applications most used by university students. In general terms, we can consider that
the implementation of mindfulness techniques through emerging technologies promotes a
reduction in anxiety levels among the university population. However, it is necessary to
clarify that the data presented only indicate a correlation, not a relationship of cause and
effect. Finally, various proposals for improvement and expansion of the research carried
out are offered
