## What is Oberberg COGITO?

COGITO is your daily companion for improving your mental well-being and strengthening your self-esteem. Whether you are facing challenges or simply want to feel better day to day, COGITO supports you with simple, practical tools. It is funded by donations and remains completely free, with no ads, no hidden costs, and no data tracking.

COGITO Oberberg is based on the COGITO app but contains more exercises and additional features.

Choose from focused programs tailored to your needs, such as exercises for mood, anxiety, gambling, self-esteem, or pain. Each program includes practical, science-based exercises that you can apply immediately.

Evidence based and effective

COGITO is based on established psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Metacognitive Training (MCT). Studies show it can reduce emotional distress and improve self-esteem (further information: see www.uke.de/cogito-app
). Using COGITO consistently a few minutes a day produces real change.

How it works

• Choose a program that fits your current need, whether mood, anxiety, self-esteem, or another area
• Complete short, focused exercises built on principles of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and other interventions
• Set optional reminders to build a daily habit
• Adapt exercises or create your own to make COGITO truly yours

Consistency matters. Small steps repeated regularly lead to lasting change. COGITO helps you turn helpful strategies into everyday habits.

Make COGITO your own personalised toolkit

Important

COGITO is a self-help tool and does not replace professional treatment such as psychotherapy. It is not suitable for acute crises or suicidal thoughts. If you are in crisis, please seek professional help immediately.

### 5/5 — Super App für mentale Gesundheit

*2024-07-02*

Die App bietet ein breites Spektrum an Übungen zur Verbesserung oder Aufrechterhaltung der mentalen Gesundheit an. Es gibt alltagstaugliche und leicht verständliche Übungen zu verschiedenen Themen wie z.B. Schlaf, Achtsamkeit oder Kommunikation. Auch können „Programmpakete“ zu Themen wie Zwang, Glücksspiel oder Schmerzen individuell zusammenstellt werden. Besonders wertvoll finde ich die über Audios angeleiteten Übungen, wie z.B. die Tiefenentspannung vor dem Einschlafen oder der den Body Scan! Auch das Design der App ist total ansprechend und intuitiv.

**Developer response:** Liebe Conny1512,
Danke, Lob wie Ihres motiviert uns, die App weiter zu entwickeln. Ganz herzlichen Dank

### 4/5 — Unterschied zur APP von der des UKE?

*2024-03-30*

Wie unterscheidet sich die APP von der COGITO-APP des UKE?

**Developer response:** Die Apps sind sich ähnlich. Diese App hat mehr Schlafübungen und besitzt zudem Videos der Oberberg-Klinik zu mentaler Gesundheit. Ausserdem trägt man eine wöchentliche Bewertung der Stimmung ein. In Zukunft werden weitere Abweichungen folgen.
