What Is the Mental Wellbeing Score?
The Sahha Mental Wellbeing Score is a daily health score that represents a user’s mental and emotional wellbeing.
It combines behavioural and physiological signals that relate to stress, balance, and recovery into a single score that helps apps understand how a user is coping with daily demands and lifestyle pressures.
This score turns complex wellbeing data into an actionable measure for personalised mental health, stress management, and lifestyle recommendations.
Why Is the Mental Wellbeing Score Important?
Mental wellbeing plays a critical role in emotional regulation, motivation, focus, and overall health.
The Mental Wellbeing Score helps surface patterns related to stress and psychological balance that may not be obvious from raw signals alone. By summarising these indicators into one score, apps can identify when users may benefit from rest, mindfulness, recovery-focused activities, or reduced intensity.
How to Interpret the Mental Wellbeing Score
The Mental Wellbeing Score is presented on a scale from 0 to 100.
Higher scores generally reflect better balance, lower stress, and stronger recovery. Lower scores may suggest elevated stress, fatigue, or challenges with emotional resilience.
Tracking the Mental Wellbeing Score over time helps reveal trends in mental wellbeing rather than reacting to short-term fluctuations.
Factors Contributing to the Mental Wellbeing Score
The Mental Wellbeing Score is influenced by multiple wellbeing-related factors, including:
- Physiological stress indicators
- Rest and recovery patterns
- Sleep consistency and quality
- Daily activity balance and overload
- Behavioural signals associated with routine regularity
These factors are combined to reflect overall mental wellbeing rather than focusing on any single signal.
What Data Is Used From Phones and Wearables?
The Mental Wellbeing Score adapts based on the data available from connected devices.
Wearable devices typically provide physiological and recovery-related signals such as stress metrics and sleep patterns. Smartphones may contribute behavioural context such as activity routines and daily movement patterns.
Sahha’s scoring model normalises these inputs to ensure consistent mental wellbeing scoring across different devices and data sources.
How to Improve the Mental Wellbeing Score
The Mental Wellbeing Score improves when stress is managed, recovery is prioritised, and healthy routines are maintained.
Common ways to improve the Mental Wellbeing Score include:
- Improving sleep quality and maintaining consistent sleep schedules
- Balancing activity levels to avoid overload
- Practising stress-management techniques such as mindfulness or breathing exercises
- Taking regular rest breaks and recovery days
- Maintaining consistent daily routines and healthy lifestyle habits
Small, consistent changes in stress management and recovery support meaningful improvements in mental wellbeing over time.
