    These applications focus on maintaining overall psychological health and preventing serious health issues by reducing stress, anxiety, and frustration. They work to improve sleep quality, self-awareness, patience, concentration, self-confidence, and provide users with the tools to manage fears and negative thoughts. These apps often offer various relaxation and meditation practices, as well as educational materials so users can manage their mental health independently. Additionally, they may track emotions, sleep patterns, and habits or even connect users with mental health specialists to facilitate proper self-care.

  • General Mental Health Apps

    These apps provide popular and efficient tools for self-monitoring, self-help, and relaxation. Features may include customized sound environments, journaling, mood tracking, and breathing techniques. They also offer mental health assessments, screenings, and diagnostic tools to help users better understand their mental health needs.

  • Apps for Addiction Recovery

    Overcoming addiction often requires a significant amount of willpower, and it can be incredibly challenging for people to manage it on their own. Addiction recovery apps can provide significant support and assistance. They include features such as habit trackers, educational content, daily reminders, and supportive communities, which are all crucial elements of addiction treatment.

  • Meditation Apps

    These apps offer guided meditation sessions, breathing exercises, and other relaxation techniques to help users manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. Users can select a soothing soundtrack for meditation, or they can meditate in silence. They can also set a timer for a session, select a meditation target (for certain techniques), and even choose visualization if needed.

  • Sleep Cycle Tracking Apps

    Sleep plays a vital role in mental health. Our mental health app development services include creating applications that track this important aspect of well-being. Users can use these apps to monitor the duration of uninterrupted sleep and its qualitative indices like depth, phase change, and more.

  • Mood Tracking Apps

    These mental health apps allow users to monitor their mood changes and identify external factors that impact their emotions. This helps them to understand their mental states better, identify certain patterns or triggers, and ultimately gain control over mood swings.

Core Features of Mental Health Apps that We Implement

At Devico, we specialize in custom mental health app development, which means the final list of features depends on the specifics of a particular project and the client’s needs. However, there are some features that we generally recommend considering:

Self-monitoring

Keeping track of one's mental state is crucial for recovery. Mental health apps allow users to log emotions into an in-built diary, uncover behavioral patterns, and keep track of habits. This helps users better understand their own conditions and needs, and identify patterns or triggers that may affect their well-being.

Notifications & Reminders

Informative notifications can keep users updated about upcoming doctor appointments, medication intake, self-care sessions, and other in-app activities. This feature helps users adhere to their treatment plans and supports them in managing their mental health concerns.

Text Chat & Video Consultations

Text chats and video calls play an important role in mental health apps. For users, it's essential to know that they can get the necessary advice or consultation immediately when emotions are running high or certain questions arise. Communication channels are not only needed in case of emergencies but also for pre-scheduled video consultations with a doctor.

On-Demand Video/Audio Content

Mental health apps frequently offer on-demand video or audio content. This could include guided meditations, breathing exercises, or other educational materials that help users better comprehend their issues and find effective ways to address them.

Gamification

Gamification elements can significantly enhance the effectiveness of some mental health apps. Features such as rewards, challenges, or point systems can motivate users and engage them in managing their mental health. This element reminds patients that they are primarily responsible for their health. Moreover, incorporating mini-games that improve cognitive skills and emotional conditions can add an element of fun to mental care and increase user loyalty.

Emergency Support

For some mental health solutions, emergency support is a critical feature. It could include access to crisis hotlines or emergency services used in case of urgent mental health concerns. It works similarly to a security emergency button: as soon as a patient presses a button in the app, doctors receive an emergency notification of an urgent call.

Support Communities

Being part of a supportive community has a positive impact on therapy. A person with a mental disorder may feel especially isolated and depressed. Therefore, it's beneficial to create safe environments like anonymized forums or chats where app users can support and encourage each other.

Intelligent Calendar

With an intelligent calendar, patients and doctors can efficiently schedule and manage their activities and receive timely notifications. It facilitates scheduling video consultations, medication intakes, self-care practices, etc., providing users with a comprehensive treatment plan.

Treatment Plan Dashboard

A mental health app is not only a tool for tracking patients' conditions but also for making adjustments to treatment. Doctors use a dashboard to see the big picture, including specific goals, self-care activities, and evidence-based treatment options. All related data is in one place, making it easier to make the right decisions and adjust a treatment course if needed.

Journaling

Journaling is one of the most effective techniques for tracking emotions and thoughts, which can help users better understand themselves. This way, users can identify the triggers that affect their behavior and well-being.

Medication Tracker

This feature is essential as it helps app users strictly adhere to prescribed treatment. It is used to monitor and manage patients' medication intake continuously. Patients receive notifications to take medication on time, while healthcare professionals are informed whether patients have taken their pills.

Our healthcare software development services are provided in strict compliance with the key global healthcare industry regulations, standards and best practices. So you can guarantee the security of your solutions and ensure your sensitive patient information and clinical data is kept safe. Our healthcare security expertise encompasses:

Benefits of Mental Health App Development Solutions

Developing mental health apps contributes to addressing pressing global social issues, and we at Devico are extremely proud of the high-quality mental health app development solutions we deliver. The primary advantage of these applications is that they help reduce stigma and pressure on those who require mental health care. But the benefits don't stop there. Here are some additional advantages:

BenefitDescription

Urgent Mental Help

Mental health apps provide immediate access to mental health support and resources. This can be crucial for individuals with serious mental illnesses or those experiencing urgent mental health concerns due to life difficulties, failures, or crises. These apps provide users with hotlines, emergency services, and real-time support from mental health professionals, which can be facilitated through embedded text or audio chats or even through integration with video conferencing platforms like Zoom.

Improved Treatment Quality

When mental states and treatment processes are under thorough control, treatment outcomes significantly improve. Mental health apps aid mental health experts in collecting and analyzing patients' health data, enabling them to make more informed decisions and provide tailored care. Patients, too, can track their progress, leading to greater engagement in the treatment process.

Increased Patient Satisfaction Rate

When traditional therapy is supplemented with a mental health app, the effectiveness of the treatment improves. This, in turn, leads to better outcomes and an increased patient satisfaction rate. Patients can track their treatment progress independently and significantly reduce the number of in-person visits while still feeling confident about receiving timely help if needed.

Better Availability of Healthcare Services

Rural and remote areas often lack healthcare specialists, including mental health experts. For residents of these areas, mental health apps often serve as the only regular source of professional healthcare consultation and support. These apps not only connect users with mental health experts but also provide support groups and educational content, helping to bridge the gap in mental health services and improve overall access to care.

Lower Treatment Cost

Using mental health apps can help prevent serious mental health illnesses or acute exacerbations. This early intervention at the onset of the first symptoms can help reduce treatment costs. Additionally, mental health apps save a lot of time and money on in-person visits, which is particularly beneficial for residents of underserved areas who would otherwise have to travel a significant distance to visit the nearest mental health specialist.

Our hiring process

In order to have indeed brilliant specialists on the team, we are always super-scrupulous about our hiring process suggesting six steps:

  • The formation of the requirements for a jobseeker;
  • A thorough review of resumes;
  • A screening interview with our HR specialist;
  • English level assessment;
  • Soft skill assessment;
  • A technical interview with a team lead;
  • Getting a job offer;
  • A warm welcome to our team.

Our employees are our most valuable asset which is why we always take the time to hire only those who are the best fit.

Frequently asked questions

We implement role-based access to our solutions and securely encrypt all data. Moreover, we develop mental health apps with corresponding security standards and regulations in mind, so they can be legally launched and used in a corresponding country.

On average, a standard mental health application development project takes about 6 months. However, timelines depend mostly on project specifics — the scope and complexity of features, the number of integrations, and others.

There are numerous reasons to hire Devico. We have highly professional developers and designers, use cutting-edge technologies, possess profound domain knowledge, provide a rich set of development services, and always strive to meet all clients' expectations and requirements, among many other things.
