Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lucid Care mobile app, and how does it help with mental health?
Lucid’s mobile app is designed to help you understand, track, and communicate your mental health.
We provide insights by analyzing your data and offering suggestions, education, and tools to help you navigate and improve your mental well-being.
What kind of data does the Lucid Care app collect?
The app collects data from various sources, including: self-reported data (like your mood and medication adherence), biodata from wearables (like the Oura ring or Apple Watch), and health biomarkers (such as cortisol levels and gut health).
All of these data help create a comprehensive view of your mental health.
How do I track my mood and emotions using the app?
You can track your mood by using the self-report check-in feature in the app. You can also choose to track other aspects of your mental health via the “Workbooks”; these sections were chosen after working with dozens of psychiatrists because they matter for mental health.
Simply log what matters most at regular intervals. Lucid Care app will analyze your data to provide personalized insights.
How can I use the expression and reflection tools in the app?
Lucid Care app provides journaling and self-reported questionnaires to help you reflect in a more open way. These tools help capture your thoughts and feelings, and our data analytics offer insights to help you track your mental health trends.
We're currently developing additional features, including audio recording and drawing boards, to give you even more ways to express yourself. If you have any ideas or feedback, we’d love to hear from you!
How does the Lucid Care app ensure my data privacy?
Your data privacy is our top priority. Lucid Care app uses advanced encryption methods and strict privacy controls to ensure that your data is secure and only accessible to you and authorized healthcare professionals.
Can I share my data with my healthcare provider?
Yes, you can share your data with your healthcare provider directly through the app. If your clinician has recommended Lucid to you, you can input their 6-digit code under your “Profile”.
When you share your data, your clinicians will see a summary view with data that they need to make more informed decisions about your treatment.
We’re also working on a new feature that will allow you to choose specific data and time periods to share, giving you more control over what you share and when.
Please remember that Lucid is not a healthcare provider, and we do not reveal your data in real-time.
What’s the point of the “Progress” tab?
The “Progress” tab is our clinically focused tab. We include questionnaires that are commonly used by mental health clinicians to track a patient’s recovery, such as the PHQ-9 for depression and GAD-7 for anxiety.
It helps your clinician understand how you’ve been doing and whether or not you’re getting better, worse, or staying the same compared to a few weeks or months ago.
How often should I use the Lucid Care app to get the best results?
We recommend using the app daily and completing the Workbooks of your choosing. Regular use helps the app generate more accurate and personalized insights.
To develop meaningful insights, the app typically requires about 15-20 days of data. These insights can be used to empower you with more knowledge about yourself and empower your clinician with a better understanding of how you’ve been doing.The more frequently you check in, the more accurate the insights are!
