10. Worry Watch

Worry Watch is designed to show users their anxiety patterns, helping them to realize that many concerns turn out to be unfounded. Users follow three main steps: Record, reflect, and reason. First, the user writes down what is bothering them, setting a reminder in the app to revisit the note later. Once the reminder comes, the app asks the writer to reflect on the note, and write down whether the outcome was as bad as the user thought it’d be. Then, the app creates charts to reveal; patterns in the users anxieties.
