What is Bugbean?
Bugbean is focused on helping with proactive help for people with mental illness. We have been developing and fine tuning phone usage data collection with our free app AntiSocial. Removing bugs, reducing battery usage, data usage and memory overhead to support over 15,000 different phone models.
We are now using this proven data collection technology, and pairing this with extensive research to create a clinical, evidence based mental health monitoring tool. Zafty is developing this tool, which will sit as an simple app on users phones and actively predict mental heath events. Complex algorithms drive the heart of Zafty.
Why?

You will find us roaming the streets of South Melbourne and haunting the local, and exceptionally good, coffee shops when not tinkering in the office.
For a long period we operated with a keen angle of deception, never telling people what we really did... we build apps was the common line. We even had a satire based website that we have now removed and replaced with this one.
