mustafa, developing nurture whilst suffering from chronic prostatitis
nurture was created in the process of overcoming a ‘chronic’ disease diagnosis
hi! my name is mustafa. i’m a phd student from london, who had to take a year out of my studies due to debilitating mental and physical health issues, ultimately leading to a chronic disease diagnosis.
nurture was created iteratively during that time, as i first discovered heart rate variability and it’s link to chronic and acute stress. through improving my heart rate variability, i have seen lasting improvements in my mental and physical health.
given the number of people suffering from acute and chronic health conditions, physical and mental, i wanted to give back what i could. hence, nurture is 100% free, and always will be. the only cost to entry at the moment is an apple watch and an iphone, however i intend to release the app on other platforms (android, fitbit) in the future.
whatever your story, i hope this app can be of use to you.
additional help and support of the app is provided by dr zakir khokher (cantab), the medical lead of nurture
