Our mental health research app is designed to track your digital biomarkers and daily mood to help us better understand anxiety and depression.


Your digital biomarkers are things like:

· Step Count

· Miles Traveled

· Number of calls and texts you send and receive

· Amount of time spent on social media

· Number of networks your phone connects to



What you’ll find in this app:

· Daily Mood Surveys: Rate your mood twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.

· Tips & Resources: Get tips on simple ways to boost your mental and physical well-being. Access useful UT Southwestern and Crisis Lifeline resources.

· Data Tracking: Check out your daily social and physical activity, as well as your mood changes throughout the week.
