Same Here App Flow
#Same Here SCALE
SameHere Scale App
With the SameHere Scale app, you can take control of your mental wellness.
You can use our American Institute of Stress officially certified scale to easily check-in, track, and trend your mental wellness in easy-to-follow calendar and chart views. You can also share those trends with anyone you would like – parent, sibling, child, coach, manager, mentor, etc. By tracking these trends you can discover what life events impact your mental wellness both positively and negatively.
Once you’ve begun to “track,” you can also start to “act” using the STARR (Stress & Trauma Active Release & Rewiring) Exercises available in the “Gym for your Brain.” These are evidence-based self-care exercises that work to heal affected structures in your body – structures that are impacted as stress and trauma accumulate in your nervous system, over time.
Below, find screen shots of both the individual user experience on the SameHere Scale app, as well as some of the user flow from the Enterprise Group app, used in schools, offices, military, clinical, and sports groups all over the world. As the Group app cannot be accessed without permissions, fill out this form to find out more.

STARR Exercise Schedule
Users can set up routines by clicking the middle button in the bottom, and will be able to schedule STARR Exercises individually or weekly. Users will get reminders as push notifications to their phones. Sticking to exercise routines requires tools that remind us and keep us accountable.
Body Parts
Blinking images of internal body parts that each of the STARR Exercises work on, are viewable in this section, so that you can learn what the exercises are helping to heal. Body parts such as the:Vagus Nerve, Insular Cortex, Microbiome, Corpus Callosum, Amygdala, Mitochondria, Lymphatic System, Fascia, HPA Axis, Psoas Muscle and many others are shown and described. The more you know about what each exercise is doing for these body parts, the more likely you are to stick with them.
Instructional Videos
Each of the STARR Exercises is accompanied by a thorough video which explains precisely how the exercise is performed, how often to do each exercise, and reference to the body parts the exercise is working to heal. There is both a demonstrator and a narrator for each video.
Same Here Chat Features
Chat Features
Individual app users can go into Settings and “Invite Contacts” to connect formally with anyone in their phone who is a contact. Chat functions allow users to stay in touch with friends, family, mentors, etc., if they are using the individual app. Group Members in the Enterprise Group version of the app can chat with any of their Group Leaders. This feature can be enabled or disabled for groups based on your preference.
Chat Emojis
In chat, users are able to send quick emoji responses from the SameHere Scale, or request the same from their connections.
Same Here Scale Responses
Users of the individual app can even use the chat feature to request to see each connection’s personal SameHere Scale responses, or share their own, depending on the comfort level each has with one another.
Group Leader vs. Group Member Views
As these are Enterprise Group features that cannot be viewed through the SameHere Scale app, in the App Store, click here to request more information, or a demo, if you are interested in exploring more.
Group Leaders can see an aggregate view of the selections of their Group Members each day (this refreshes at 12am each day). Group Members can see the same charts (to normalize that it is truly okay not to be okay), but unlike the Group Leader, cannot see individual Group Member answers.
Scale Check-In Requests
Group Leaders are able to request a Scale check-in from one, some, or all of their Group Members, within seconds, or send their own Scale response to help foster vulnerability and openness.
Trend Sorting
Group Leaders can sort by daily trends, weekly trends and monthly trends, to make sure they are staying on top of their Group Members, easily. Alerts will be coming soon based on the data that has been analyzed, to ensure Group Leaders are able to stay on top of concerning trends, but not be overwhelmed. These alerts can be set up to go directly to school professionals and/or administrators.
Customizing Groups
We provide you with Group Leader and Group Member “Invite Codes” for each of your groups or classes, so that you are in control as to which individuals are invited to be Group Leaders, and which Group Members can be added to each of your groups. You are able to have an unlimited number of Group Leaders and Group Members in each group. Group Leaders can lead multiple groups, and Group Members can be Members of multiple groups.
L.I.F.E. Saver
L.I.F.E. Saver, #SameHere’s proprietary tool for first-person suicide prevention is available in the Settings section. This tool provides a positive plan of action, a video with global advocates to guide users through that plan, and a link to call or text the suicide prevention hotlines, should a user be in crisis (this can also be customized based on country helpline resources). It’s important for individual and group users to have a safe place to turn when no one is around to respond if they are in a crisis situation, and this tool provides that.
