Good point.
I think it does make some sense for unemployment though as at least some proportion of people will forsee becoming unemployed either because they think they’ll get fired or because they are dissatisfied with their jobs to the point they want to quit.
The data on being disabled it is a bit more troubling, but (without having read the report) one reason might be that this was official registration (or even official diagnosis) for disability which, for disabilities with slow onset (arthritis, some disabling diseases like MS, etc..), there would perhaps be a period of discomfort and pain before becoming officially disabled. Keep in mind that only some proportion of subjects need to have slow onset conditions to skew the average toward a negative dip before diagnosis (governmental or medical)
Looks really cool!
I’d be interested to hear why something like this has not been developed already and why you (presumably) expect that it would not have been developed in the near future by non-EAs.
It seems to me like the model could be profitable. Also, consumers should be able to differentiate products within the market and thus pick more effective ones which should incentivize increased effectiveness for anxiety-focused apps.
Might there be some kind of perverse incentives that most companies have in this sector? Or is this just an overlooked opportunity?
