Where we are headed
11 programs, one app, one area at a time.
Tether Health is one app with a program for each area of health. Behaviour change looks different across conditions, but the machinery underneath is shared. We are building that machinery once, then shaping it to each program — starting with BreatheFree, for tobacco and nicotine.

How we choose what is next
Need, evidence, and whether we can do it honestly.
Where the burden is largest
We start where the number of people affected and the severity of outcomes are both high, and where self-management genuinely changes the picture.
Where the evidence is settled
We build on established clinical guidance, not on a promising study. If the evidence for an intervention is thin, a nicely designed app does not fix that.
Where software is the right tool
Some problems need a clinician, a prescription or a policy, not a phone. We would rather route someone to the right help than pretend an app is it.
Is your area on this list?
If you work in one of these areas — clinically, in research, or in public health — the order we build in should be informed by you.
Programs that are not in build describe intent. Nothing listed here is available for clinical use today.
