Custom Quests
BetterStep enables clinics to deliver tailored therapeutic content aligned with their treatment methodologies.
Quests are evidence-based clinical interventions designed by professionals. Users receive and complete quests but cannot create custom ones—this ensures clinical quality and safety.

Clinics can request custom therapeutic quests through the BetterStep team.
