Better You
Practice Digital Wellness with BetterYou
BetterYou is a mobile wellness app that helps people spend their time on the things that matter most. You set goals that are important to you in the areas of physical, social, educational, and mental wellness, and BetterYou runs in the background, providing gentle nudges and rewards along the way that positively influence behaviors.
BetterYou is free to use but only available to the first 500 students who sign up. Earn your first reward after completing onboarding in the app and get a $5 gift card to a retailer of your choice!

February Challenge
We often associate the month of February with hearts because of Valentine’s Day. However,
there’s another reason we should think about hearts in February; it’s American Heart
Month!
A healthy heart is crucial for a long and fulfilling life, and it’s never too early
or too late to start taking care of it. Use this month to get a head start and join
our Heart Month Triathlon! Each week has a heart healthy goal to hit in the app!
How to join in the fun
- Week 1: 4th - 10th
Set a fitness goal and hit it for the week! Whether it’s a gym location, fitness through an app or just logging that time. Feb - Week 2: Feb 11th - 17th
Set a Mindfulness goal and hit it for the week! This could be a place that you clear your mind, a meditation app or logged time you take for a refresh. - Week 3: Feb 18th - 24th
Set a Sleep Goal and hit it for the week! Try to get the right amount of sleep for your body, and know that it’s important for keeping your heart healthy.
$300 in prizes, winners picked each week with a grand prize at the end!
Here’s how it works:
- Students set specific goals in four areas of health: physical, social, education, sleep and mindfulness.
- BetterYou logs progress in the background so users can put time toward what matters most to them.
- When users end up off track, idling on an app that’s pushing them further from their goals, BetterYou will send a friendly nudge to remind them of what they said was important.
With visual progress logs, rewards for reaching goal milestones, and no manual entry required, BetterYou is a simple and effective health tool for students who want to make sure they’re at their best physically and mentally.
