Using a mental health app doesn't have to be boring- it doesn't have to drain you.
Especially now that over 10,000 mental health apps have flooded the market, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
Does using a mental health app feel like a burden? Is it hard to stay consistent or get the support you need?
Not with Brightn. We've designed our app to support your mental health journey with continuity, ease, and seamless progress.
In this article, we'll be exploring our brand-new product updates, exciting features, and their effectiveness for daily use. Let's dive in.
Brightn 2.24 comes with features that allow you to navigate the app faster, simpler, and stress-free. Let's take a look.
Brightn has an extensive library of wellness strategies, including educational content and prompts, to help you set goals across your purpose, finances, and health. However, with Brightn 2.24, learning just got easier, with easy access and better navigation.
It's easy just to stop using an app, especially when it doesn't appeal to you. No functional design, no ease of access, no swift responses. But it doesn't always have to be like that!
An excellent user interface drives more engagement and increased use from a user. This is because a user-friendly app provides users with the flexibility to navigate its essential features and functionalities easily. Brightn 2.24 contains updates to provide both user-friendliness and simplified operation in a single app!
"Opportunities" and "Programs" are now easy to find on the Brightn app's explore page, where you don't have to scroll endlessly before you find the content or weekly plan that fits you best.
This new update contains a search bar just at the top for you to search and see any of the content of your choice. Following Brightn's three cardinal points, health, wealth, and purpose, you can search out any lesson and task that spans becoming financially empowered, mentally healthy, and finding meaning in life.
This update saves you the stress of struggling to locate the best content that can equip you right away! You can now seamlessly plan your week by curating content that supports you through your busy schedule all week long!
Now, let's look into something more interesting.
Brightn 2.24 contains the Opportunities sub-categories, where each lesson is placed under specific topics and frameworks of wellness, just for you!
Under the Health category, you'll learn more about prevention and recovery strategies, physical wellness, mental wellbeing, how to make social connections, and mindfulness-enhancing resources.
With the Wealth section, you can access key areas like investment strategy, foundations for financial freedom, insurance lessons, financial psychology, debt management, and even how to set long-term goals in your finances.
The frameworks designed under the Purpose category are relevant to help you find meaning and fulfillment, enhance personal growth, resilience, and adaptability skills, as well as goal setting and achievement, and a sense of belonging in the community.
If it's holistic, then it's Brightn! We have carefully selected and designed evidence-based frameworks just for your holistic wellness and effective coping strategies.
We continue to work on providing every thriver with a deeper and more personalized experience that ensures an improved mental state. Brightn 2.25 comes with a fresh look for comprehensive mood tracking to support mental wellness.
At the core of the Brightn app's functionality is the ability to supply weekly reports, as well as past reflections or journal entries. These insights provide a comprehensive understanding of how you've been behaving, what you've been thinking, your predominant mindset, and your progress in mental wellness.
But with Brightn 2.25, there is an interesting new addition- monthly insights!
Research shows that self-tracking and monitoring can amplify mental wellness and promote overall wellbeing.
With Brightn 2.25, you'll get a comprehensive overview of your entry frequency, sentiment analysis, and entries calendar that displays the moods you logged throughout the month.
A monthly report helps you create long-term goals for your mental health and set a more extended timeframe for the activities you've put in place for your mental wellness routine.
You can also leverage these monthly insights to gain a deeper understanding of specific symptoms, habits, emotional patterns, or predominant thought patterns.
Nevertheless, this new update was made to complement the weekly report, not to stop or end the progress report you receive at the end of every week.
Brightn 2.27 has an incredible responsibility of giving new Brightn users an unforgettable and uplifting onboarding experience from the very first glance. This feature is open to everyone who’s just signing up for the app.
While most mental health apps have risen to tackle some of the common mental health challenges, there is a growing quest for services, tools, and features that address individual preferences.
This is what the new Brightn 2.27 update establishes. It's designed to offer a new onboarding experience for new users. Brightn wants to understand you so it can become familiar with your needs, struggles, and areas where you require support.
Research conducted on the reasons behind the low engagement with mental health apps and the high rate of abandonment after a few days of use revealed that personalization and user experience were a matter of concern for several individuals.
When users can't find personal relevance in mental health apps, they often become frustrated in their search for a better option. Brightn solves this challenge.
Let's take a look at how our new onboarding experience works:
After signing in and filling in all relevant information, Brightn provides a list of what you would like the app to help you with, and you can conveniently pick all that applies, ranging from navigating your emotions, relationships, wealth, habit forming, nutrition, etc.
Nonetheless, your struggles could be triggered and sponsored by a number of both external and internal factors. Even at that, you could still find it difficult to pinpoint or trace the exact thing that keeps stressing you. Brightn 2.27 simplifies that process.
After asking you what you need help with, it further inquires about what could be a limiting factor to your wellness, which could be work, family, social media, school, or a lack of social support.
When you're done selecting these answers, you'll catch a glimpse into how the Brightn AI Chat works by receiving a personalized message from the chatbot; you can choose to reply, and then you receive a detailed entry reflection just as you'd get it if you're already into the app.
With Brightn 2.27, users walk into Brightn feeling seen, understood, and heard, with a greater focus on therapeutic interventions.
Additionally, we have fixed a few bugs to deliver a smoother experience using Brightn. With these new app updates, fixing bugs ensures proper maintenance to avoid glitches when users operate the app.
Using a mental health app like Brightn means that you don’t have to deal with the everyday frustrations that often accompany generic digital apps.
Brightn helps you see the details, gives you a firm grip on the parts of your life you might be overlooking in your wellness journey, and provides you with language for difficult emotions.
The app’s AI interacts with you with empathy, providing a friendly experience, deep insights into your mood patterns, and a more streamlined onboarding process.
Our product updates are now live, allowing you to enjoy a memorable experience with Brightn.
