What does the app do?

The Manaaki Ora app supports individuals and whānau to build well-being and resilience. It includes information on helping whānau identify their feelings and, when they feel overwhelmed, find out where to get support. It also has a section on how to support others. Users can gain insight into the symptoms of depression, create goals to help recover from depression and build a network of contact and support services. It is based on the Māori model of health Te Whare Tapa Whā.

PROS	CONS
✔ Structured integration of te reo Māori and concept of Te Whare Tapa Whā. ✔ Describes the symptoms of depression in lay-person terms that users are more likely to recognise and identify with. ✔ Includes a dedicated section for users to support others who may have depression.	✘ The contacts sections seem to only connect with contacts saved on the user’s sim card as opposed to their phones. ✘ Would be useful to include an option to disable the audio for the app.
