Does Wisdo measurably improve social and mental health? How has this been measured and proven?

Yes. Wisdo was designed as a social health platform, and its impact is measured using validated mental health assessments and real-world research studies.

How outcomes are measured

Wisdo tracks changes in members’ well-being using widely used clinical screening tools, including:

  • UCLA-3 Loneliness Scale – measures perceived loneliness and social connection

  • PHQ-2 Depression Scale – measures symptoms of depression

  • GAD-2 Anxiety Scale – measures symptoms of anxiety

  • HRQOL (“Unhealthy Days”) – measures quality of life and mental/physical health days

Members complete these short check-ins when they join and periodically afterward, allowing Wisdo to measure changes in well-being over time.

Results observed among Wisdo members

Across deployments and research studies, Wisdo has demonstrated meaningful improvements in social and mental health outcomes, including:

  • 31% reduction in depression

  • 20% reduction in anxiety

  • 85% of members reporting reduced loneliness

These improvements are associated with participation in Wisdo’s peer support communities, trained Helpers, Guides, and structured coaching programs, which help members build stronger social connections and healthier habits.
