BoosterBuddy is an app created by Island Health. The app helps users manage their mental health by rewarding them for completing daily tasks that encourage positive habits. These include:
- Daily mood check-ins
- Keeping track of medical appointments and medication
- Encouraging social interaction
- Providing coping strategies for eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic pain, and self-harm urges
- Offering a journal feature for recording thoughts, accomplishments, favourite quotes, and practicing gratitude and self-compassion
