Tomo is a social media service for motivating others to build positive, healthy habits and celebrating every success, no matter how big or small.
Users don’t have to worry about how many likes or comments they get when posting to Tomo. The app is entirely based on encouragement. Users can post pictures anonymously of an activity or a habit that they’re partaking in that’s beneficial and healthy for them. Other users can then show them support for their efforts, thereby encouraging the patterns to continue. This idea is based on scientific research: Tomo has found that peer support is essential in creating healthy habits. If an individual feels supported, they’ll be more likely to continue to build a healthy life for themselves.
Users can also chat with Tomo’s AI chatbot, who will check in with them throughout the day, get updates on their mental health, and see how their day is going. Based on the user’s responses, the chatbot will make individualised suggestions for activities or habits to boost the user’s mental wellbeing. These habits include building blocks for essential life skills, such as confidence, motivation, reflection, and more. So, for example, if someone is looking to improve their organisational skills, Tomo will suggest that they clean their home or flat, or if someone is looking to improve their social skills, playing a game with others will be recommended. With over 75 activities and habits to choose from, the platform encourages its users to start small. By building micro-habits, they can seek to develop a life filled with good health and wellness. Trying to tackle mental health all at once can be daunting and overwhelming. Tomo applies behavioural activation therapy, which has been derived from cognitive behavioural therapy. This form of therapy alleviates symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression through behaviour and actions. Additionally, with Tomo, users can track their habits, so they can physically see how far they’ve come in their journey.
