Zafty Mental Health Research

See all your phone usage in detail, how often you spend on your phone, unlock counts, timestamp views of what apps you open and how long you spend in them. Plus you can chart your usage over the last 30 days.

As part of the app we ask you to complete a mental and physical health feedback loop, which you can also chart over 30 days. This will allow us to fine tune our mental health algorithms.

Why? Because Zafty Intelligence is working towards passive prediction of mental health events in people through deviations in phone usage patterns.

We are working to predict anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) through changes in a combination of behaviours.

We have been in stealth mode for almost 3 years, fine tuning our data collection and storage technology. We view this as a social good program.

Note that the data collected will be shared with Universities, College and researchers in an effort to fast track out development. Importantly any data shared will be completely anonymous and no personally identifiable information is ever shared.

What we collect includes any information from fitness apps you have installed (steps, calories, heartbeat etc) plus phone unlocks, apps you open and the amount of time spent in each app. If you feel this is invasive we understand. We do require this in-depth information to finalise our predictive app.

Mental health is a major issue for almost every person at some time during their lives. We aim to create an anonymous peer to peer support network that will alert your selected friends if an event is predicted (with not details).
