As tech companies come for your sensitive emotional words & movements, please keep in mind that FDA approval for smartphone app does NOT protect your sensitive data from being taken & used.

Tech companies do the studies. Metrics show a result but gloss true complexity. Datafication of human experience is false premise. Result claimed against low bar. "In the trial, patients were randomized to receive either Rejoyn or a sham control app."

The 30 page ReJoyn privacy policy is enough to make anyone depressed.

That's a lot to ask of someone suffering from depression, to read and understand that document. & yes they use your data for targeted advertising, also they claim de-identification which means there will be uses made that are unknown.

This is digital scalable care. Who profits? Who pays?
