Use Evidence-Based Frameworks for Reducing Stress

uMore is an AI tool that helps users track their well-being and build positive habits. Its main functions are “Catch, Check, and Change.” Users begin by capturing negative thoughts to acknowledge their issues, and then the app analyzes their behavior to guide them in changing their action patterns.

Challenge and Solution

Challenge:

The customer asked us to develop a mobile app that would incorporate multiple evidence-based mental health techniques for reducing stress in a user-friendly fashion.

Solution:

Our team implemented all key features requested by the customer (including evidence-based questionnaire integration, AI personalization, and automatic testing tools) and helped them create a strong basis for the further development of the product.

Result:

A complete mental health app capable of analyzing client stress levels and offering actionable customized advice for reducing it.

Solution 1: AI-Based Crisis Recommendation System

One of the core features of uMore implemented by us was artificial intelligence integration. Algorithms engineered by our team in accordance with the customer’s vision can analyze PSS (Perceived Stress Scale) feedback both in long- and short-term scenarios and offer various recommendations for overcoming mental health challenges (especially, during crises such as COVID-19 lockdowns). Its core findings are summarized in a dashboard system, allowing all users to have a bird’s-eye view of various trends in their psychological well-being. The viability of uMore’s approach is proved by several awards our client received for their app.

Solution 2: Integrating Scientifically Proven Methods

We integrated several peer-reviewed mental health frameworks into the app, helping translate them from paper to code, under the active supervision of the customer and according to their vision. In this regard, our team adapted a scientifically proven PSS (Perceived Stress Scale) framework to identify client stress levels. More importantly, we created a streamlined flow for the feedback-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) frameworks together with the client, turning them into a Catch, Check, and Change system of the app. One more major feature implemented by us based on the client vision was the integration of social capabilities in the form of a safe circle platform. A safe circle allows a group of people trusted by the users to analyze their behavior and take the necessary measures to prevent stressful situations in their lives.

Let's Discuss Your Project Idea

What Does Cooperation With Us Look Like?

Step 1. Idea analysis

Learning about the customer’s vision of creating an evidence-based mental health monitoring system, analyzing the feasibility of the features to be implemented via a market and technology review, and outlining the key challenges we can potentially encounter.

Step 2. Formalizing the requirements

Formalizing the requirements (evidence-based foundation for mental health management and AI integration), setting clear milestones and deadlines, learning about evidence-based mental health standards, and choosing the most appropriate development framework for them.

Step 3. Active development of the features

Digitalizing evidence-based mental health standards, creating an AI-based recommendation system, performing regular meetings to ensure common vision, and interacting with the customer’s expert for code review.

Step 4. Feedback and testing

Gathering feedback from the potential users of the app, implementing automatic testing, and removing all UI/UX and backend constraints to ensure the app is as inclusive as possible.

Step 5. Maintenance and additional feature development

Launching the developed mental health management features, providing dedicated support to ensure their smooth functioning, and developing a web version of uMore upon customer request.
