Onboarding Guide for Existing Users

We’ve introduced a new way to personalize your Mendi experience, designed to help you set clear goals, reflect on your mental well-being, and track your progress over time.

1. How You’ll Access the Feature

When you launch the app, you’ll see a prompt inviting you to get started:

• A full-screen announcement introducing the new focus experience
• Or an inline message on the Explore tab
  
  

Tapping “Get started” will guide you through choosing your focus area, completing a short questionnaire, and setting up reminders to support your journey.

2. Choosing Your Focus Area

You’ll now be asked to select a focus area that best reflects what you want to work on right now:

• Improve focus
• Manage stress levels
• Ease my anxiety
• Lift my mood
• Feel my best
  
  

Your selection helps Mendi tailor insights and check-ins that support your specific goals. You can change your focus area anytime in Settings.

3. Completing Your Initial Check-In

To better understand your current state, you’ll be asked to complete a short, scientifically validated questionnaire based on your selected goal.

• Each questionnaire takes around 2 minutes to complete.
• Your answers help Mendi provide a baseline measurement so you can track progress over time.
• These assessments are not medical diagnostics but tools to help you reflect on your mental well-being.

Depending on your chosen focus area, you’ll take one of the following:

• Focus: Attention Control Scale (ACS) – Assesses your ability to maintain and shift attention.
• Stress: Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) – Measures how you perceive and manage stress in daily life.
• Anxiety: Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) – Helps evaluate common symptoms of anxiety.
• Mood: Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) – Screens for symptoms of low mood and emotional distress.
• Well-being: WHO-5 Well-Being Index – Tracks overall mental well-being and quality of life.
  
  

Once you complete the questionnaire, you’ll receive a personalized result based on your responses. This gives you a clear starting point to revisit over time as you continue training with Mendi.

4. Tracking Your Progress

• You’ll be able to retake the same questionnaire every 1, 2, or 3 months, depending on your preference.
• These check-ins help you see measurable changes over time and understand how your brain training and lifestyle are supporting your mental well-being.

5. Enabling Notifications

To stay consistent and on track, you’ll be prompted to enable two types of reminders:

• Neurofeedback session reminders – Daily prompts to support habit-building
• Progress check-in reminders – Based on the frequency you choose (monthly, every two months, or every three months)

You can update or disable these notifications anytime in Settings.
