Customize it to make it all yours
Nobody should have to fit into a preformed box. With WeFeel you can customize what you track and when you are reminded to track those things
Every day the number of apps available grows, and that includes the number of apps related to mental health. There is no regulation on mental health apps, but in April 2016 the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry published a commentary that gave some guidelines that care providers can use when evaluating apps for use in treatment. This framework is called ASPECTS, and the C stands for customization.
WeFeel is designed as a tool for use in a wide variety of mental wellness and care situations. Customizing what you can track is a key component to the flexibility that WeFeel offers. In addition to the six core emotions, individuals can add an additional 6 custom items to track. This provides flexibility to meet the needs of a wide variety of situations. For example,
You can enter up to 6 custom items to track
- in addiction recovery treatment individuals can track the intensity of their cravings.
- in marriage counseling each partner can track how connected they feel to their spouse
- for patients with bi-polar or manic/depressive disorder, they can track mania and depression independent of other emotion
- new mothers with post-partum depression can track how postive they feel toward their baby or motherhood
- those seeking treatment for generalized anxiety can track their anxiety separate from other fear emotions
- individuals suffering from depression can track other symptoms like lack of energy or tiredness, insomnia, guilt, and persistent pain
- and more…
The field is wide open to what can be tracked and each item that is tracked can also have its intensity tracked – just like the custom emotions. Once these custom items are tracked WeFeel has the power to show a correlation between a custom item and location, social situation, activity, or the core emotions captured.
Setting custom and random reminders in App Settings
Not only can you customize what you track, you can customize when you are reminded to track it. That puts the power back into your hands to track emotions and custom items from regular interactions (like a specific class at school, a regular work meeting, the daily commute, or end of the day). You can set up to 3 custom reminders along what those reminders say. For example, at 10 am a reminder can pop up to ask “How was Mr. John Doe’s class?” You can also set the number of random “How do you feel?” reminders from zero up to 10 times per day.
Customization is a key component of WeFeel that makes it a useful tool for many different care situations. From parents and couples to professional counselors and paid care providers, WeFeel offers a new tool that will improve communication and understanding.
