The Problem

  • ADDICTION IS A DUAL PROCESS MODEL
  • THERE ARE 5 STAGES OF BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
  • ADDICTION IS ACCOMPANIED BY COGNITIVE BIAS
  • TRIGGERS ARE OUT OF CONSCIOUS AWARENESS AND CAN OCCUR AT ANYTIME
  • A CONSISTENT RELEASE OF STRESS HORMONES CAN CAUSE ADVERSE LONG-TERM EFFECTS

Joshua Caleb, MPsych

It's difficult to discuss Thoughtune without mentioning Joshua Caleb. Why not commence here. In his late twenties, Josh studied a Bsc in Psychology followed by an Mpsych in Behaviour Change Psychology at Plymouth University. For over 5 years, his psychology training often lead him to the problemtic area of addiction, where he felt an epidemic proportion of people fall vicitim annually.

Josh automatically saw this reoccuring dilema as a challenge and began to study evidence-based interventions and gamified psychological concepts that could be delivered through smart phone technology. Following the completion of his studies at Plymouth, Josh returned to Cornwall where he decided he would develop Thoughtune, a mobile application designed as a digital tool to tackle addiction and optimise well-being.

After following incremental steps towards his goal, he is excited to say that Thoughtune will be available for download from the Apple App Store in 2020.

Statement of Origin

Thoughtune, an app focused on mental health and addiction support, was born from a deeply personal journey. As the creator of Thoughtune I experienced firsthand the challenges of addiction and mental health issues, witnessing the impact they had on my own life and the lives of dear friends. This profound experience led to the realization that a compassionate and accessible platform was needed to address these pressing issues.

Driven by the desire to make a difference and inspired by the memory of friends who lost the battle to mental health and addiction, I embarked on the mission to develop an application that could offer meaningful support, guidance, and resources to individuals facing similar struggles.

Thoughtune is not merely a product; it is a manifestation of empathy, understanding, and the fervent belief that technology can play a pivotal role in improving the well-being of those who are often overlooked or stigmatized.

Every aspect of Thoughtune, from its features to its user interface, reflects the commitment to creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals navigating the complexities of mental health and addiction. The app's development was fuelled by the hope that it could provide solace, insights, and practical tools I and friends wished we had during our own challenging times.

The path to recovery and well-being is not always straightforward, but with the dedication and compassion behind Thoughtune, we aim to offer a supportive hand to guide users toward healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

Thank you for joining us on this journey toward improved mental health and well-being.

Sincerely,

Joshua Caleb
