Advanced Mood Tracking
An evidence-based method to strengthen emotional self-awareness and diagnostic support.
How does it work?
Via an intuitive interface, users log their daily mood, sleep duration, and relevant circumstances. The 'Daily Pulse' automatically adapts to the user's specific mental health condition – whether depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or general emotion regulation. It is based on validated questionnaires from therapeutic practice, consolidated to the essentials so that an entry takes no longer than approx. 1 minute per day. Not all fields are mandatory – users only fill in what feels relevant.
„Through tracking, a user realizes that her mood dips systematically correlate with a lack of sleep.“
Scientific Background
Continuous tracking promotes 'emotional granularity'—the ability to identify highly specific emotional states rather than using vague labels (like 'bad'). This process has been shown to activate the prefrontal cortex while simultaneously dampening the amygdala (the brain's alarm center). It untangles overwhelming emotional clusters: recognizing that you are specifically 'exhausted and disappointed' rather than globally 'depressed' immediately lowers perceived stress intensity and paves the way for targeted coping strategies.
Therapeutic Benefit
Systematic reviews indicate that mood monitoring, when combined with 'distant support' (like a therapist), shows high efficacy in improving depression scores.
Scientific Research
Efficacy of mobile applications in treating depression: systematic review and meta-analysis.Araib et al., 2026 (BJPsych Bulletin)
This 2026 meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials (n=2,821) demonstrates that mobile apps significantly reduce depressive symptoms (SMD = –0.46). Efficacy was confirmed in both adolescents and adults.
