It primarily deals with problems related to sleep issues, addiction, anxiety, trauma, depression, identity challenges, career, parenting, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mood disorders & other lifestyle management tools.
The app also has some excellent features like “Stella” whichis the company’s proprietary interface for users that speaks 29 languages and understands over 40 emotions. It has been developed by leading Neuroscientists, Psychologists & Psychiatrists. Stella has been critical in supporting the lifelong journey of improving and maintaining mental health.
