The Virtual Hope Box (VHB) is a smartphone application designed for use by patients and their mental health providers as an accessory to treatment. The VHB contains simple tools to help patients with coping, relaxation, distraction, and positive thinking. Patients and providers can work together to personalize the VHB content on the patient's own smartphone according to the patient's specific needs. The patient can then use the VHB away from clinic, continuing to add or change content as needed. Patients can use the VHB to store a variety of rich multimedia content that they find personally supportive in times of need. For example, a patient can include family photos, videos and recorded messages from loved ones, inspirational quotes, music they find especially soothing, reminders of previous successes, positive life experiences and future aspirations, and affirmations of their worth in their VHB. A patient can also collaborate with their provider to create coping cards to use in response to personal problem areas they experience. Finally, the VHB provides the patient with positive activity planning, distraction tools, and interactive relaxation exercises including guided imagery, controlled breathing and muscle relaxation.

Know where you are in your mental health journey, and see what is helping you move forward. Healthy Mind Map brings your moods, activities, assessments, biometric data, and personal progress together in one place. It is designed to help you track what you feel, discover patterns in your daily life, and stay in control of the information you choose to use or share. TRACK WHAT MATTERS TO YOU Mental health can be difficult to remember clearly from day to day. Healthy Mind Map gives you a simple way to create a more consistent record of your experience. Use the app to: • Check in with your mood and follow changes over time • Complete structured mental health assessments • Create and track activities that support your areas of focus • Record meaningful life and health events • Connect Apple Health data for additional biometric context • Review trends across moods, activities, assessments, and health information DISCOVER YOUR OWN PATTERNS Healthy Mind Map is built around a simple idea: your data should help you understand your own journey. Explore how routines such as sleep, movement, mindfulness, and other activities may relate to changes in your mood and assessment results. Review analytics over time, compare different signals, and look for the patterns that matter to you. The app does not reduce your experience to a single score. It helps organize the information you choose to track so you can reflect with more context and make more informed decisions about your wellness routine. MAKE PROGRESS VISIBLE Small actions can be easy to overlook. Healthy Mind Map gives your progress a visual home so you can see how consistent check-ins, activities, and assessments add up over time. The Journey Map turns participation into visible movement, with miles, stops, and collectibles along the way. Week in Review brings your recent moods, activities, assessment results, and reflections together in a private weekly recap, helping you look back before deciding what you want to focus on next. STAY CONNECTED BETWEEN SESSIONS Healthy Mind Map can support self-guided wellness or complement the work you are already doing in therapy. If you want additional support, invite a therapist, friend, or family member into your support circle. You remain in control of what you share with each person. This can make it easier to bring useful context into a therapy session, celebrate progress with someone you trust, or create accountability without giving up ownership of your information. PRIVACY AND CONTROL COME FIRST Mental health data is deeply personal. Healthy Mind Map is designed so sharing is optional and controlled by you. Your data is encrypted, and you decide what to track, what to keep private, and what to make visible to trusted supporters. A WELLNESS TOOL BUILT AROUND YOUR JOURNEY Healthy Mind Map includes guided resources and tools for reflection, calm, focus, and resilience. Choose your areas of focus, build a personalized set of activities, review your analytics, and adapt your routine as you learn more about yourself. This is more than a place to log how you feel. It is a way to connect the dots between your emotions, your actions, your assessments, and the health information you choose to include. Track your journey. Discover what is working. Own your progress. Healthy Mind Map is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. The app is intended to support wellness and self-management and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have concerns about your mental health, consult a qualified healthcare professional. Download Healthy Mind Map and start seeing your mental health journey more clearly.
