Nau mai, haere mai

This month, we’re highlighting digital tools to support self-management, including mindfulness, symptom tracking and pregnancy support. We also share practical guidance to help people make informed decisions about using intermittent fasting apps.

Just a Pause: An Intro to Mindfulness

• A free NZ-based online

  mindfulness course from Just a

  Thought.

• Provides simple mindfulness

  techniques to feel calmer, more

  present and better manage stress

  and anxiety.

• Includes audio guides, narrated

  stories and interactive worksheets.

Using intermittent fasting apps safely

• Intermittent fasting apps can help

  users track fasting windows,

  meals, weight and mood.

• There is limited evidence on the

  long-term effects of intermittent

  fasting, so people should use

  these apps cautiously.

• Find practical advice to help make

  informed decisions about

  intermittent fasting and app use.

Symptom tracker apps

• Help users record symptoms,

  triggers, medicines and changes to their health over time.

• They may support long-term

  condition management and more

  focused appointment discussions.

• Useful for spotting patterns, but

  should not be used to diagnose or

  guide treatment changes.

Nineish Months Pregnancy app

• NZ-made pregnancy app for

  people who are pregnant or

  planning a baby.

• Includes week-by-week guidance,

  tracking, education and a hospital

  checklist.

• Designed to support, not replace,

  advice from their midwife, GP or

  obstetrician
