Not to be a doomer, but you seem a little optimistic about the future of mental health apps. You identify incentives for study in employee well-being, but you haven't helped me understand who exactly has an incentive to develop and test some wellness app (beyond some vanity project) that actually works, instead of spending resources on something more lucrative. Have you ever seen the "Pickle Rick" episode of Rick and Morty? There's a scene in the episode where a therapist compares going to counselling to brushing your teeth, and her point is that self maintenance is not exciting (but you still have to do it), so it's easily ignored. You probably can't make mental health addictive in the way that the status games on social media are, because addiction is not a healthy behavior.
Doctor do you imagine their will be more practices launching from individuals without physiology backgrounds rather years of self study?
Encounter with nature needs more elaboration
