What is UpBeing & what does their app do?

UpBeing automates how you measure, understand and improve your habits. UpBeing empowers users to gain insights about their wellbeing, habits and behavior. The research team has opted to partner with UpBeing to provide better insights into how people can improve their wellbeing by monitoring and making small changes to their daily behaviors.

UpBeing allows users to gain actionable insight into their wellbeing

Insights

Objective Data

Users authenticate their data (e-calendar, wearables, Spotify and more) and UpBeing uses these data sources to analyze their behaviors.​

Personal Check-ins

Users also “check-in” with the UpBeing app in as little as 15 seconds, up to three times a day. These check-ins allow users to report on their feelings and prime themselves at different times throughout the day.

Real Value

The UpBeing app then finds correlations between a user’s behaviors and feelings, providing unprecedented insight into what drives a user’s wellbeing and how they can make changes to optimize their wellbeing.
