Exciting New Updates in Empaithy: 20th July, 2024

Hey everyone!

I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates we've rolled out for empaithy, designed to enhance your experience and make mental wellbeing support more accessible and effective. We've been listening to your feedback and working tirelessly to bring these new features to life. So, without further ado, let’s dive into what’s new.

Localization: Speak Your Language

One of the most significant updates we've launched is localization. We understand that language can be a barrier when it comes to accessing mental wellbeing support, and we want to make sure that empaithy is as inclusive as possible. You can now interact with the platform in your preferred language. We're starting this with English, Hindi, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. We know that many of you have been waiting for this, and we’re excited to bring it to you. But this is just the beginning! We're continuously working on adding more languages, so keep updating the app to see when your preferred language becomes available.

Comprehensive Progress Analysis: Mapping Your Entire Journey

When we first launched empaithy, our Progress analytics focused primarily on data from your journal entries. While this provided valuable insights, we realized it was only part of the picture. Your mental wellbeing journey includes every interaction you have within the app, not just your journal entries.

That’s why we’ve expanded our Progress analytics to include comprehensive data from chats, journal entries, and other app interactions. Whether you're chatting with our AI, writing in your journal, or using any other feature, all these interactions will now contribute to your overall progress analysis. This holistic approach gives you a more complete picture of your mental wellbeing journey, helping you understand your progress better and make more informed decisions about your mental health.

Introducing Composite Scores: A New Way to Measure Wellbeing

We’re also excited to introduce new experimental Composite Scores, which include emotional and mental wellbeing scales. These scores are designed to give you a better understanding of your overall mental state and track your journey towards improvement.

You’ll find these new scores in the Progress section of the app. They combine various data points from your interactions with the app to provide a comprehensive view of your mental wellbeing. The goal is to help you see how different aspects of your mental health are interconnected and provide actionable insights to help you move towards a better state of mind. We believe these Composite Scores will be a game-changer in how you track and understand your mental wellbeing.

Improved AI Capabilities: Engaging, Stigma-Free Conversations

Our AI has received a significant upgrade as well. We’ve added new guardrails to ensure your interactions are safe and supportive. We’ve also improved the conversation capabilities of our AI, making it more engaging and empathetic. Our goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable opening up about your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or stigma.

We know that talking about mental health can be challenging, and we want to make these conversations as easy and natural as possible. Our improved AI is designed to provide you with the support you need in a way that feels human and understanding. We’re committed to breaking down the barriers and stigma associated with mental health, and this is a big step in that direction.

Looking Ahead

These updates are just the beginning. We're constantly working on new features and improvements to make empaithy the best possible tool for your mental wellbeing. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we’re always listening. Please keep sharing your thoughts and suggestions with us – they help us shape the future of empaithy.

I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for being a part of the empaithy community. Your trust and support mean the world to us. We’re committed to providing you with the best possible experience and are excited about the journey ahead.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates, and as always, take care of yourselves.

Best,

Harshdeep
