BETTER CANCER OUTCOMES

HOW TO USE SUPERBETTER.

SuperBetter is a web- and mobile-based program intended to help you enhance your physical, mental, and emotional well-being and improve your social connections. Playing as little as 5 minutes a day is designed to help you achieve multiple goals based on your preferences and motivations: beat depression and anxiety, cope with an illness or pain, recover from post-traumatic stress, improve nutrition, increase exercise, and overcome daily challenges. Over 1 million people have played.

Based on your goals, you can complete “quests” (i.e., real-life activities such as 10 minutes of stretching), accomplish “power-ups” (e.g., drink a glass of water), and also battle “bad guys” (i.e., common bad habits/traits such as self-criticism) on a daily basis.

You advance through levels and are awarded points for completing each activity. The program allows you to focus on the quests, power-ups, and bad guys that are important to you and to skip those that are not. You can also invite “allies” to leave encouraging comments and suggest new quests and power-ups. Additional features include a daily wellness questionnaire and a weekly “Superbetterness” questionnaire, which are used to assess your progress.

WHAT SUPERBETTER IMPROVES

Treatment side effects: Cancer treatment side effects are physically and emotionally challenging. SuperBetter offers power-ups and quests designed to help manage treatment side effects, such as fatigue, nausea, pain, or hair loss. In addition, these resources provide strategies and support to cope with and minimize the impact of side effects on daily life.

Emotional distress: Cancer can bring about a range of emotional distress, including anxiety, fear, depression, or sadness. SuperBetter provides quests and power-ups that address emotional well-being, resilience, and positive thinking. These tools can help cancer patients navigate and cope with the emotional roller coaster of a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Uncertainty and fear: The uncertainty of what will happen and the fear of recurrence or progression are common concerns. SuperBetter encourages setting goals, tracking progress, and celebrating achievements. By focusing on small, attainable goals, cancer patients can regain a sense of control, combat fear, and build confidence in their ability to face uncertainty.

Social isolation: Cancer can lead to social isolation as patients may withdraw or face challenges in their social relationships. SuperBetter emphasizes the importance of social support and provides tools to connect with allies and the SuperBetter community. Engaging with others who understand and share similar experiences can help combat loneliness and give a sense of belonging and support.

Negative self-talk: SuperBetter helps combat negative self-talk by promoting positive thinking, self-compassion, and self-care. Quests and power-ups encourage patients to challenge negative thoughts, reframe their mindset, and practice self-empowerment and resilience.

Low motivation: Cancer treatment can be physically and emotionally draining, leading to a lack of motivation. SuperBetter's power-ups and quests offer strategies to boost motivation and provide a structured framework to track progress, celebrate achievements, and find joy in small victories.

WHAT SUPERBETTER IMPROVES

Resilience

Sense of Control

SuperBetter empowers cancer patients by providing them with a sense of control over their well-being. It allows you to set personalized goals, choose quests and power-ups that align with your needs, and track your progress. This sense of agency can contribute to a positive mindset and a greater sense of self-efficacy in managing your cancer experience.

Emotional Well-Being

Cancer often brings emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, fear, and stress. SuperBetter offers quests and power-ups specifically designed to address these emotional aspects. Engaging with these resources can help improve emotional well-being, boost mood, and enhance your ability to navigate and cope with the emotional impact of cancer.

Symptom Management

SuperBetter provides cancer-specific quests and power-ups that focus on managing treatment side effects and symptoms. These resources can offer strategies to cope with pain, fatigue, nausea, sleep disturbances, and other common challenges associated with cancer treatment, helping to improve your overall comfort and quality of life.
