Well365 brings whole-person wellbeing and real human coaching into one calm daily rhythm. Most wellness apps hand you a dashboard and leave. Well365 connects what you record to a real coach who can see it — only if you choose to share it — so the support you get is about your actual week. A CALM DAILY CHECK-IN Record how you feel in one tap. Add a habit, a gratitude note, or a few minutes of sleep when you want to, and skip them when you do not. Nothing here counts streaks against you or tells you that you have fallen behind. WORK WITH A REAL COACH Choose a wellness coach from the directory and message them in the app. Your coach can see the wellness activity you have agreed to share, so a conversation starts from where you actually are rather than from a form. SEE WHAT HELPS Mood trends, habit history, a wellness wheel across eight dimensions, and assessments that show patterns over time. Observations, never instructions. BRING IN WHAT YOUR IPHONE ALREADY RECORDS If you choose, Well365 reads steps, sleep, exercise minutes and mindful minutes from Apple Health to fill in the habits you pick. Nothing is read until you turn it on, and Well365 never writes to Apple Health. PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK Your journal entries are never shared with a coach unless you turn that on. You can see a log of every time a coach opened your wellness data, and you can export everything Well365 holds about you, or delete your account, from inside the app. Your employer never sees your individual entries. Lock Well365 with your face, fingerprint or passcode, add two-step verification, and sign out on every device at once if a phone goes missing. BUILT FOR EMPLOYER-SPONSORED WELLBEING Well365 is offered through employers as a wellbeing benefit. Join with your organisation's code, or use Well365 on your own. Well365 is a wellbeing and coaching service. It is not medical care, therapy, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a crisis service. In the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. In an emergency, call 911. Terms of Use: https://corewell365.com/well365/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://corewell365.com/well365/privacy/
