Tomo (2019 Winner) - is an app that uses the power of online community to build habits that keep users healthy. The app helps users work out what activities will help them build a healthier life and helps to schedule them on a regular basis to turn them into habits. Users then share photos of these activities with Tomo’s community motivating themselves to do more and inspiring others to do the same. Healthy habits are simple, everyday activities (having a glass of water or meeting up with a friend) and doing them regularly builds resilience to long-term health conditions like depression, diabetes and chronic pain conditions. The app is based on leading therapeutic techniques, combined with the healthy aspects of social media, and multiple studies show Tomo helps people do more, and feel better.
