Clinical Patients & App Users

App User Testimonial
“When I look at the app and there's a whole data of truth. And even if I skip a few days, I can fill in the blanks because if Day five was like, you know, red, and then day eight is suddenly like mid, I can guess that those days weren't that great. Having that visual representation, having building on my self-awareness, self-acceptance and breaking down that denial.”

Patient Testimonial
“There's a frustration about sessions that I have. I found it hard to articulate things. I see my, my therapist every week, but I find it, hard to articulate what I'm going through on a Thursday, what I was experiencing on the previous Friday. Having a tool where I can literally pull out my phone, press a few, press a couple buttons and write a few key words to help me jog my memory and articulate to my therapist what I was going through that time, makes my sessions a lot more effective.”

App User Testimonial
“I grew up in a family, where talking about mental health is very much taboo. Asian upbringing, very much, a strict sort of setting, expressing how you feel to your parents is like the worst thing you can do. So, I've gotten very good at building a poker face over my life, over the course of my life. With Safe Watch I log my feelings every day, just making it very raw and knowing that nobody can see it actually allowed me to be really honest with myself.”

Patient Testimonial
“Finding the people that you know will be there for you. Not to say that people don't want to be there for you. It's people that I've had, my wife, my therapist, my best friend, see me at my darkest time, and I know that if I call them at 11:30 at night, they'll be there.”

Patient Testimonial
“With SafeWatch I can easily write down a word or a note, that will help me to articulate how I am feeling, and I can show my psychologist.”

Patient Testimonial
“I think the SafeWatch app is excellent in how it brings together the mood diary, medication, activities, buddy system and 1 on 1 interaction with a professional, all within the app.”

App User Testimonial
The reason I hate journaling is because I have to think about what I was like when I was not well. And if you're happy, you don't want to go back there. So it's hard to journal. So take the literally 15 seconds to get the app, to get your phone out, and be honest with it.”

App User Testimonial
“SafeWatch is a visual representation of my feelings for the last week, month or even a year.”
Mental Health Practitioners
A New Dimension in Clinical Conversations
“It's been fascinating to have this added dimension in the clinical conversation. Tracking mood is good for prevention, relapse prevention, if someone is struggling in an acute, state, they are able to play. It's very practical and easy to do should they choose to, and most of them have so far. When we meet, I can have the aggregated data shown to me. That's fantastic. Now this is all stuff I would have been doing like pen and paper or other apps over the years. But it is now, using Safe Watch.”
Enhancing Expertise Through Safe Watch
“It's been a really fascinating journey for me in the way in which Safe Watch has been able to support and enhance that trading of expertise.”
The Profound Value of the Village Approach
“The Village Approach value, it's actually very profound and it's something that a therapist and a client really understand the depth of the importance of something like the Village within Safe Watch I know that my client, if he has a sudden downturn, that he can reach out to somebody who's really important. His scaffold is secure and that's his village. It's actually really lovely to know because ordinarily, I'd get the phone call.”
Focused Care Through Accessible Assessments
“If a psychologist has done an assessment on a client who has subsequently come over to me, I can see on Safe Watch that they have carried out that assessment. So, I can really home in on something such as, anxiety scoring very low for the client. I can see that, and we can focus on that.”
Enriching Conversations with Valuable Insights
“It's a very valuable tool when they're able to discuss their own experiences and the insights that they've gained through the use of the app in between sessions. It enriches the types of conversations that we have. The real gift is the awareness raising that goes on with that.”
Insight into Client Journeys Between Sessions
“In working with this app, not only you get an insight of what to expect, but you know, the journey of the person over the last week or two. Maybe you haven't seen them, [but] you know where they've been, and you know where they are now. It basically allows you to be prepared to go into the environment and have the mindset to address the issues.”
Supporting Family Conversations and Care Plans
“I've probably used the app with 30 families, it supports the shared conversation. It also helps in a practical way with the development of the care plan, which I would routinely do.”
"With Safe Watch I can go and see my client and know where they have been, and where they are now so I can best support them."
Carer Testimonial
“The proverb "It takes a village to raise a child", highlights the importance of community and collaboration in child-rearing. “It takes a village” is as relevant to embracing and nurturing individuals living with mental health and wellness challenges. Safe Watch is to be congratulated for its novel Village approach.”
