2. How quickly you get into the habit of using it
Through the app you can log your mood, activities, and progress each day, at work at home or on the go so it learns more about what resources you will find useful and is a mini health check.
3. The wealth of resources to choose from
From articles, podcasts, yoga, guided meditations, to student advice and men’s health, there’s so much beneficial content available on Wisdom. There’s something for everyone, and so many topical preferences to select from that you can manage in the app. Pick the content you want to see.
4. How much water you should be drinking!
Wisdom’s health trackers and 4 week plans all aim to encourage gradual positive changes to your everyday life. They raise interesting lessons like just how much water you really should be drinking! What else can you look to improve in your daily life?
5. Mental activity is just as valued as physical activity
Wisdom lets you track your activity, recommending 30 minutes a day embracing mental activity, including things like baking, gaming, journaling, and meditation.
6. How many ways there are to breathe
Sounds crazy, right? But Wisdom has three completely different breathing exercises, whether you want the classic approach, need to refocus, or want to calm down at the start or end of the day. Each can be changed to last for as little as a minute to as long as half an hour!
7. Leaderboards!
You can create and share Leaderboard challenges with friends or colleagues on the Wisdom portal. Create a leaderboard to track steps, water, or general activity, and see who is in the number one spot at the end of a week, a month, 3 months, or 6 months!
8. Live chat and video calls with counsellors
Users can access live chats or video calls with Health Assured counsellors. Sometimes one or both options are greyed out, but if you wait for a moment you’ll find they free up very quickly. In the meantime, users can request contact at a later date or call the 24/7 helpline.
