Neuroscience Drives New Wellbeing App: ReNeuWell
Researchers from NeuRA and UNSW Sydney have launched a new app aimed at boosting the wellbeing and resilience of adults. This innovative mobile application, called ReNeuWell, shifts the focus from managing distress to actively promoting mental flourishing, offering a neuroscience-backed, personalized approach to mental health.
Designed by Associate Professor Justine Gatt, Director of the Centre for Wellbeing, Resilience and Recovery at NeuRA and UNSW’s School of Psychology, ReNeuWell is underpinned by the COMPAS‑W Wellbeing Scale. This validated tool assesses both subjective (hedonic – composure, positivity, life satisfaction) and psychological (eudaimonic – self-worth, mastery, achievements) wellbeing, providing users with a comprehensive profile.
