# Anticipate --- ## Getting Started ### What is Anticipate? # What is Anticipate? **Anticipate** is a personalized mental health monitor that helps you understand the connections between your daily life and your mental well-being. By automatically syncing data from your wearables and phone, it uncovers patterns, triggers, and trends, giving you and your healthcare provider clear insights to personalize your care. ## What Anticipate Is Anticipate acts as your effortless mental health journal. It connects to your existing health apps and devices (like Apple Watch and Oura Ring) to passively gather data about your sleep, activity, and more. For anything it can’t automatically access (like a stressful meeting, travel, alcohol, or a big life event), you can add quick manual tags — so your journal still reflects the full picture. The app then analyzes this information to give you a clear view of your mental health patterns over time. - **Effortless Monitoring:** Automatically tracks signals from your devices without requiring constant manual data entry. - **Manual event tags**: Allows you to add quick tags for events and triggers your devices can’t capture. - **Pattern & Trend Discovery:** Identifies how factors like sleep, stress, events, and activity affect your mental well-being over time. - **Personalized Insights:** Summarizes your data into simple, clear, bite-sized insights you can quickly understand — and share with your healthcare provider. - **Privacy First:** All your personal data is stored only on your phone. Anticipate is anonymous by design, and the AI models we use don’t retain your data or use it for training. ## Why It Matters If you keep feeling better for a while, then suddenly drop back into the same low place after therapy or treatment, you’re not alone. That happens to a lot of people, because the plan doesn’t always fit real life. Anticipate helps by providing a continuous, objective view of your well-being. It helps you see if your treatment is working, notice changes early, and understand what truly affects you. With these insights, you can have more productive conversations with your therapist or doctor, leading to a more personalized and effective care plan. It empowers you to see the full story of your mental health journey, including both the good days and the challenging ones. ## How Anticipate Works Anticipate securely connects to your Apple Health data. It reads information like your sleep cycles, activity levels, and heart rate. Using this data, along with any notes or tags you add, our system identifies correlations and trends. For example, it can show you how a few nights of poor sleep impact your mood or how a specific self-care activity helps reduce stress. ## Summary This article explains what Anticipate is: an automated mental health monitor that syncs with your health data — and lets you add quick tags for real-life moments your devices can’t see (like “stressful meeting,” “travel day,” “late coffee,” or “big argument”) — to provide personalized insights. It details how the app helps you track patterns and trends in your well-being, share actionable information with healthcare providers, and maintain your privacy with on-device data storage. --- ### Who Anticipate is (and isn’t) for # Who Anticipate is (and isn’t) for Anticipate is for you if: - You want to track your mental health without extra effort - You often forget or avoid journaling — and wish it happened in the background - You want full privacy - You’re looking for insight, not diagnosis It’s not a good fit if: - You’re looking for a diagnostic tool - You’re seeking clinical advice or crisis support - You need a tool for managing or treating mental illness A few important things to know: - Anticipate **doesn’t provide medical advice or diagnose mental health conditions**. Insights are suggestions for reflection, not clinical guidance.

Your mind is influenced by events far beyond what your phone can see or simple tags. Trust it gently, and with caution. --- ### Device and OS requirements # Device and OS requirements - **Device**: iPhone (ideally, with Face ID or Touch ID) - **Operating System**: iOS 16 or later - **Storage**: Anticipate is lightweight and won’t take up much space - **No Apple Watch required**, though it improves sleep accuracy The app is available on iPad, but it works best on iPhone.

Anticipate can automatically track your sleep using your phone's built-in motion sensors, so you don't need a smartwatch or ring. This guide shows you how to enable this feature by granting the necessary permissions. This can be done during the initial app setup or at any time from your settings. ## How Motion-Based Sleep Tracking Works **If you keep the app in the background:** 1. Anticipate briefly wakes up at 10:00 PM to start tracking, then monitors your night until 10:00 AM, or until you open it in the morning. 2. When your phone becomes still in the evening, we treat that as the start of bedtime. 3. When your phone starts moving in the morning, we treat that as your wake-up time. 4. If you pick up your phone during the night (even just to check the time), we detect the motion and record it as an awakening. **If you don't keep the app in the background:** 5. You’ll get an evening notification reminding you to open Anticipate. 6. Once you open it, we start tracking for the next 12 hours. 7. Open the app again in the morning, so we can capture and save your sleep data. ## Enable Motion-Based Sleep Tracking You can enable this feature when you first set up the app or change it later in your settings. ### During Initial Setup 1. On the **Full sleep insight** screen, tap **Next**. 2. When the system prompt asks to **Access Your Motion & Fitness Activity**, tap **Allow**. ![]() ### After Initial Setup 1.

By enabling access to your phone's motion data, the app can model your sleep patterns, including when you go to bed, wake up, and experience interruptions. This feature ensures you receive valuable sleep insights even if you don't use a wearable device. --- ### How to manage Apple Watch data in Apple Health? # How to manage Apple Watch data in Apple Health?
