Your anxiety score offers a gentle, data-led way to track changes in your emotions over time.

Peri helps you see what your body is already telling you.

Your anxiety score tells a quiet story each day, one that reflects the rhythm of your emotional wellbeing. Those subtle shifts in your anxiety levels aren't random; they're your body communicating what's happening beneath the surface.

Peri focuses on anxiety patterns because they are windows into how your emotional wellbeing is truly functioning. Each rise and dip gives you insight into what your body is experiencing beneath the surface.

During times of change or stress, when symptoms can fluctuate from week to week, these anxiety patterns become even more meaningful. They bring clarity to times when your emotions may feel less predictable.

What Your Anxiety Score Shows

Your anxiety score reflects the natural patterns your body creates:

  • Peri observes your night data over two nights, detecting subtle signs of potential anxiety
  • The changes on your anxiety scores over time matters more than any single reading
  • Downward shifts in your pattern often reflect improving emotional regulation
  • Upward movements typically indicate periods of heightened stress response

These patterns are your body communicating. Just as temperature shifts reveal hormonal rhythms, your anxiety patterns illuminate what's happening beneath the surface, helping you recognize and understand your emotional cycles with clarity.

How to Read Your Anxiety Score

Instead of focusing on specific numbers, tracking your anxiety shows you what's happening in your body in real time. This helps you understand:

  • How your emotional wellbeing is functioning right now
  • Whether stress management techniques are working
  • How your anxiety shifts across weeks and months
  • What's changing as you move through different life phases

Peri focuses on your anxiety patterns because understanding your wellbeing starts with understanding these shifts. You don't need perfect charts — just real patterns from your real body.

Why It Matters

Understanding your anxiety patterns helps you connect with your body's signals:

  • Identify potential triggers in your environment or routine
  • Recognize when self-care practices are working effectively
  • Notice early warning signs before anxiety becomes overwhelming
  • Make informed decisions about lifestyle adjustments that support your emotional health

What's changing as you move through different life phases

Your first week is simply about watching your pattern begin to appear. There's no right or wrong, just gentle observation.

With Peri, your anxiety data provides context for your overall wellbeing journey. We translate subtle shifts into meaningful insights about your emotional health over time.

Important note: Your anxiety score is designed as a lifestyle measurement tool only and should not be used for medical purposes. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition. Always consult healthcare professionals for medical advice.
