🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A digital platform that allows users to log anxiety triggers and interventions as 'system errors' and 'patches' to track efficacy.
  2. A peer-reviewed repository of 'mechanical' mental health protocols written in technical documentation style.
  3. A mobile app that uses biometric feedback to trigger specific, repeatable 'interrupt' tasks when it detects high-stress physiological states.
