Wellbeing App Integration Guide
Patterns for consumer apps & coaches.
If you're building a consumer wellbeing app, a coaching product, or a mental-health companion, therappai can power your core support features with AI therapy, mood tracking, routines, and therapeutic content.
This guide outlines common integration patterns and recommended flows for consumer-facing apps that want to embed therappai’s capabilities quickly and responsibly.
Why Wellbeing Apps Use therappai
Developers choose therappai because it provides:
Instant, on-demand AI therapy (chat, voice, video)
A structured content library (CBT, DBT, mindfulness)
Daily routines and wellbeing tasks
Mood tracking and emotional insights
A clean, predictable API
No AI safety or clinical logic to build manually
You can focus on your UX, design, features, and engagement while therappai handles the therapeutic engine under the hood.
Common Integration Models for Wellbeing Apps
Below are the most popular patterns among mental-health, wellness, and coaching products.
1. Chat-Based Support Companion
The most common integration is adding therappai as a support companion directly inside your app.
Typical UI:
chat bubble interface
message feed
typing indicator
daily “check-in” chat prompts
Developer flow:
User logs in → your app stores tokens
User opens chat
Your app sends messages to
/chatting/Display AI replies in chat UI
Repeat for as long as needed
Ideal for:
journaling apps
anxiety/depression support tools
coaching or habit apps
lifestyle apps looking to add guided support
2. Video Coaching / Avatar Therapy Mode
Many wellbeing apps embed AI video therapy as a more immersive or premium experience.
Typical uses:
guided emotional check-ins
daily reflection sessions
structured self-help lessons
personalised “therapist-style” coaching
Developer flow:
Display video avatar UI
User submits a message
Call
/liveavatar/generate/Play returned video
Loop for next message
This is perfect for apps that want higher engagement, emotional presence, or a signature experience.
3. Content-First Wellbeing App
Some wellbeing apps focus on CBT tools, mindfulness, grounding exercises, and short practices — where AI therapy is secondary.
Use therappai’s Content Library to populate:
practice libraries
recommendations
guided routines
“tool of the day” feeds
mindfulness sections
Developer flow:
Fetch content →
/content/Display exercise lists
Open detailed content pages via
/content/{id}/Track progress or favourites
Pair content with moods or chat
4. Mood Tracking & Insights App
Apps that focus on emotional awareness often use mood tracking as a key feature.
They combine:
daily mood check-ins
AI reflections
personalised content suggestions
Developer flow:
User submits mood →
/moods/Fetch history →
/moods/Show patterns & charts
Pair insights with suggested content or AI chat
This works well for:
journaling apps
mental-health trackers
stress & burnout tools
5. Routine & Habit Wellness App
Some apps blend mental-wellbeing habits with structured routines.
Use therappai’s daily tasks to power:
daily wellbeing routines
streak systems
“Today’s task” prompts
small habit loops for emotional resilience
Developer flow:
Fetch tasks →
/tasks/Show daily list
Mark completed
Track routines over time
Recommended App Flow (Most Popular)
This combined flow gives users the best holistic experience:
Daily mood check-in
AI chat response
Content recommendation (matching mood)
Daily task or routine
Optional video session for deeper engagement
End-of-day reflection
This creates a meaningful and consistent wellbeing journey.
Design Tips for Consumer Apps
Keep it warm and supportive
therappai already generates compassionate responses — design your UI to match this tone.
Guide users intentionally
Use simple buttons like:
“Start a chat”
“Try a grounding exercise”
“Watch a video reflection”
Offer fast access
Make support available from:
home screen
mood check-ins
content pages
crisis support menu
Add visual calm
Use:
soft colours
clean typography
minimal animations
Build routine loops
Daily tasks, mood logs, and short content sessions create daily engagement.
Privacy & User Trust
Mental-wellbeing apps require thoughtful design.
Remember:
Never expose user messages or mood logs to other users
Avoid pushing users to “share” mental-health data
Make Crisis Buddy optional — never forced
Be transparent about what’s stored and why
therappai handles safety filtering; you control UX and presentation.
