Thank you for volunteering to road-test Profound Care, our evidence-based AI mental-health app. Your insights will directly shape the product, so please explore freely and tell us what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing.
1. WHAT WE’RE HOPING TO LEARN
• Functionality: bugs, loading hiccups, confusing screens.
• Efficacy: did a tool reduce stress or overthinking? did something increase anxiety? tell us either way.
• Engagement: do you see yourself returning tomorrow, next week, next month? why or why not?
• Feature gaps: “I wish it could do ____.” let us know anything you looked for and couldn’t find.
• Overall feeling: any shifts in mood, motivation, or self-reflection—positive or negative.
2. PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY
Keep the following in mind:
• Do not include your full name, address, phone, email, or employer in bug reports, screenshots, or chat transcripts.
• Avoid sharing diagnoses, medications, therapy notes, or lab results. Summarize instead (for example, “The grounding exercise helped my anxiety”).
• Redact or crop screenshots that contain journal text or profile data before uploading.
• Use an anonymous handle if Betafamily prompts for a username.
Bottom line: keep feedback high-level and technical; leave personal health details out.
3. HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE
• Profound Care is a self-guided wellness tool and not a substitute for professional treatment.
• The app’s AI may occasionally misinterpret or reflect back incorrect information—use your own judgment.
• If you ever feel unsafe or in crisis, call emergency services or a helpline (for example, 988 in the United States) before doing anything else.
4. USING THE APP DURING BETA
• Feel free to complete any exercise, daily plan, or reflection prompt.
• New tools may appear—and sometimes disappear—as we iterate.
• Data may be wiped between builds; export anything you wish to keep.
• You can opt out at any time by deleting the app and letting us know.
5. HOW TO REPORT FEEDBACK
1) One issue per report; subject line should be a short description (“CBT journal froze on save”).
2) List the steps to reproduce.
3) Explain what you expected and what actually happened.
4) Include device model, operating-system version, and app build number.
5) Attach media if helpful, but redact personal details first.
