Actionable Data Insights
Real-time student wellness data
Students use Shmoody and feel better.You use Shmoody to drive impact.
*Struggling includes students who report feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, discontent, sad, stressed, anxious, hurt, or miserable.
We give you clear insights into how your students are engaging, what they're struggling with, and which resources they're using. That means you can act earlier, support more students, and show real results on your campus.
Using the Healthy Minds ROI framework, we're seeing clear indicators that Shmoody is supporting vulnerable students in ways that help them stay enrolled. The platform drives meaningful actions that align directly with behaviors linked to higher retention.
For a campus like Duke, having real-time data on what students are struggling with is priceless. We've never had a system that lets us pivot our programming mid-semester based on what students are actually saying.
Our customers feel the difference
Once students get into Shmoody and see how gamified and approachable it is, it really resonates with them. It feels different from our other platforms and stands out in a way that fits this generation.
What matters most to me isn't just the download numbers — it's when a student in crisis says, 'The Shmoody app helped me get through that situation.' That real testimony is far more impactful than any metric.
Our internal data show a strong positive Return on Investment (ROI).... Based on the engagement we are seeing on our campus and the demonstrated return on investment, we believe Shmoody is an invaluable tool for student retention.
Once students get into Shmoody and see how gamified and approachable it is, it really resonates with them. It feels different from our other platforms and stands out in a way that fits this generation.
What sold me on Shmoody is that it isn't one-dimensional. Students can identify an area of wellness to work on, access resources, and actually take action — not just read content. That action-focused design is rare in wellness apps.
Shmoody is perfect for students who don't think they need counseling but clearly need coping skills. It bridges that gap and gives them tools they can use anytime.
Our students aren't traditional college students — many are international or working professionals, and we don't have a counseling center. So a tool like Shmoody is important because a lot of our students suffer in silence, and we need anything that helps them get support when we can't reach them directly.
