Mood Navigator helps participants self-report how they feel in the Equip mobile app and helps support teams personalize emotional supports in the web app. When the feature is enabled, participants can log moods, view tailored coping options, and review their recent mood history. Support teams can personalize moods and coping options, schedule reminders, configure alert subscribers, review 30-day mood patterns, generate mood analysis, and export mood details for reporting.

⚙️ How It Works

An account admin turns on Mood Navigator in Account Settings under Feature Settings.
A team member enables Mood Navigator for an individual participant.
The participant sees the How are you feeling? mood widget in the mobile app.
When the participant selects a mood, Equip creates a mood entry and shows any configured coping options for that mood.
Coping options can show text, open a URL, or start a phone call, depending on the option type.
Support teams can review recent mood activity on the participant profile and generate a mood analysis when entries are available.

✅ Benefits

💡 Best Practices

Use labels and images that are familiar and meaningful to the participant.
Keep coping option titles short and action-oriented so they are easy to choose in the mobile app.
Use URL and phone coping options only when they point to resources the participant should actually use in the moment.
Add subscribers thoughtfully so alerts go to the right support team members without creating unnecessary noise.
Review mood history and reports regularly enough to spot patterns, but avoid overinterpreting limited data.
