???? ?????? ?????????????? ???? Teams & Challenges So much of mental health is affected by loneliness, social connection, and support systems—which is why a large part of Verity's product roadmap is dedicated to incorporating more social engagement and connectedness. That’s why we’re excited to share that you can now earn additional rewards for teaming up with friends, family, and peers to focus on your mental health, together. You can also compete in Individual or Team challenges, as well. We believe these social features will play a meaningful role in combating loneliness, as well as reinforce a few core motivators (accomplishment, loss avoidance, social influence) to drive healthy habits and adherence. --- Verity is a motivational incentive platform for Practices & Payers. We use Gamification and Behavioral Economics to improve patient engagement, retention, and outcomes.

????Exciting News! ???? Verity is now available in the Google Play store as a subscription at only $39.99/yr (~$3/mo). We’re not a D2C company… So why did we do this? ?? Very simply, we built Verity to create an engaging & rewarding mental healthcare experience for everyone-- including those who aren’t currently in care. A majority of people who need treatment are not actually getting it.?So we set out to solve for this population, as well. We hope Verity can meaningfully engage with this population and educate them about helpful skills, exercises, and resources--- with the eventual goal of navigating this population into an appropriate level of care. Verity’s B2B product has a many more offerings and features than are not in the subscription version.? If you’d like to learn more about how Verity can help your organization improve outcomes, engagement, adherence, and costs through our gamified mental health app, please email us at [email protected] to book a demo. If you work at a non-profit practice or CCBHC, Verity is completely free to use with our upside-only model.

Daniel and I will be sponsoring a booth at the InUnity Alliance annual conference over the next couple days. We're using a 6 foot light-up wheel with rewards for completing exercises in the Verity app related to mental health & wellness. The vision behind this was to bring Verity's app (Patient Engagement using Gamification and Behavioral Economics to reward patients for their own outcomes & healthy habits) to life. If you're attending, come spin the wheel!

???????? ?????????????????????????? Verity is now available in the Apple app store as an affordable subscription ($39.99/yr, with a free trial). This is a big change. Why are we doing this? 1. To support our mission: We built Verity to make Mental Health a more engaging and rewarding experience for everyone—not just those in treatment. That means we need to reach those who are considering therapy, those who can’t afford therapy, those who might not know they need therapy--- and this subscription let’s us do this. 2. It can also help us reach those in therapy in a non-participating practice that are looking for a treatment-adjacent support tool. 3. Access is critical for mental health, and we believe creating an affordable resource tool will have a big positive impact. The core app is the same sans sharing feedback directly with your therapist, as well as converting the points into gift cards. Our eventual goal is to couple this with our care navigation partnerships and offer screeners that can route patients into an appropriate level of care in as little as 24 hours within our existing B2B partnerships. More on that later. All the advice we got was “don’t do subscriptions on top of your B2B model—VC’s wont understand it, it’ll be too hard to manage, blah blah”. Well, we did it anyway. For 3 reasons: 1. To support our mission and live by our values. 2. If there’s one guarantee I’ve learned from my experience working in startups, it’s that there’s no playbook to follow for success. 3. We like a challenge. Maybe subscriptions will be a huge success, maybe it’ll be a huge failure. Either way, you’ll find out soon (as it comes with the territory of building in public…). If you like what we're doing, here's how you can help: ??Download the app. ??Give us feedback on how we can make it better. ??If you or someone you know is a practice, health plan, employer and looking to improve engagement, medical costs, or health outcomes, we'd love to chat. For Android users, you can join the waitlist on our website to receive a notification when we release the app in the Google Play store.

There’s a big problem with our business model. We built Verity to make Mental Healthcare a more engaging, game-like experience for all. We based it off of 3 clinically proven models: ??Contingency Management (Behavioral Economics) ??Engagement? ??Gamification So, we built our model around partnering with Practices to offer Verity to their patients. Now, here’s the problem… Our mission is to change the Mental Health experience for ????????????????. Not just those already in treatment. Which, under our current approach, is downright impossible, since: ??Only 10% of those struggling with a substance use disorder are receiving care.? ??Only 50% of those struggling with any mental illness are receiving care. So, who is going to help the other 90% & 50%, respectively? We began to realize that if we truly wanted to solve for this problem, we need to meet people outside of therapy sessions in a completely different way (whilst still staying true to our core business model built around Practices). Which is why we’re excited to announce some really big news... in our next update ??

???? ?????????????? ???????????? ???? 'Affirmations' is now an interactive experience on Verity. Patients can repeat #Affirmations out loud (and earn points for doing so!) We also launched "Themed" Affirmations, which are a set of affirmations that are tied to a specific core value. For example, “#Resilience” affirmations include the following: ? I am resilient ? I can do hard things ? Pain is a part of life ? Any pain I’m feeling in this moment will pass ? I trust myself to handle difficult moments ? I have the inner strength to face challenges ? I can grow and learn from my mistakes We’re excited about ways Verity's treatment-adjacent #PatientEngagement & #ContingencyManagement tool can support the #MentalHealth of patients between sessions and reinforce healthy habits.
