"Building a better life"

Tuesday 05 May 2020

Following on from the success of its first app, 'Better Stop Suicide', the Guernsey based Better App Company has come up with a new software to encourage good mental health.

The 'Better' app has been launched globally on Apple and Google stores.

The app uses a number of tools, including an emotional and wellbeing check, allowing users to gain a deeper understanding of their own mental needs.

A free version of 'Better' is available, offering a trackable wellbeing score, features to encourage talking and exercising, audio to calm the mind through breathing exercises and the ability to connect directly with a therapist.

However, a paid plan within the app offers further weekly audios. They are also available in a free seven day trial.

10% of the profits will be donated to mental health charities across the world.

The local tech company has also launched a white label mental health app service, powered by the 'Better' app. It enables companies employing more than 500 members of staff access to their own branded version of the software, for use by their employees, for an annual fee.

"There are clear and proven benefits for the user - better sleep, better emotional health, better and deeper understanding of the human needs we all have, better physical wellbeing - in brief, how to design and build a better life," said one of the creators and psychotherapist, John Halker.

"Better is loaded with rich content, supporting the user to find their higher brain - their thinking mind - to settle easily into a relaxed state, to understand healthy and sustainable ways in which their needs can be met and to sleep brilliantly well, once they know how. "

The app is available for download now and translated versions in Spanish, Italian and Chinese will be launched soon.
