How It Works

real data, real support, and real results.

Step 1: Download the app and start measuring

Your mental health is influenced by your daily habits. The app automatically tracks:

Sleep – Maintaining a regular sleep schedule is one of the most important aspects of the social rhythms theory.

Activity – Tracking physical activities can show how your movement patterns affect your mood.

Social engagement – Understand how connecting with others outside of your home can support your mental health.

With this data, you’ll start seeing patterns that affect your mood.

Step 2: Meet with your care coach

You’ll be paired with a dedicated Care Coach who gets to know you. You can talk with them anytime.

They will:
-Help you understand what’s driving changes in your mental health
-Keep you accountable for small, meaningful habit changes
-Connect you to resources like therapists, financial assistance, and community support

Instead of figuring everything out alone, you’ll have a real person to help you navigate your depression symptoms.

Step 3: Complete depression assessments every two weeks

Every two weeks, you’ll take a clinically validated PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessment. Your Care Coach monitors your results and:
‍
-Checks in when your scores indicate worsening symptoms
-Helps you make sense of your results with personalized insights
-Recommends strategies tailored to your trends

On average, people experience a 4-point drop in their depression score (PHQ-9), a clinically significant change that means real relief from symptoms.

Step 4: Make small, meaningful changes

Participate in weekly science-backed challenges to build consistent habits.

Follow along in the Habit Hub to:
‍
-Establish routines that regulate mood
-Identify which habits are helping or hurting
-Set achievable goals to reduce your depression symptom severity

With this step-by-step approach, you’ll gain confidence in adjusting your routines.

Step 5: See your progress over time

Mental health is about long-term improvement.

-Quality of Life assessments before and after using the app
