ABOUT THE APPS

The apps are designed to address the psychological and behavioral factors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low levels of well-being. These include negative thinking patterns, a lack of positive emotions, difficulty accepting challenging situations, and limited understanding of mental health concepts and their impact. Users can develop individual skills through quick, automated activities based on various therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance-Based Therapies. The apps are designed to seamlessly integrate into daily life, empowering users to take control of their mental health.

​

The purpose of this study is to evaluate each app individually. Participants will be assigned one app to use over a roughly one week period. Participants will complete questionnaires before and after using the apps, and may be invited to share their experience of using their assigned app over the phone with a study researcher. The findings from this study will help us to improve the apps to test in a future study.

​These apps are not intended to take the place of medical evaluation and treatment. They are also not designed to be a treatment for severe forms of depression and anxiety that may require more serious care. If you believe you might have other medical conditions other than depression or anxiety, you should see a physician or go see a mental health provider for further evaluation.
