How were the “eight dimensions of experience” of the harmony wheel established?
Cedulify has created the eight dimensions of our wheel of harmony by utilizing the “Do Live Well” framework. This framework was created by Canadian occupational therapists and informed by scientific evidence. It has developed a vision of health based on the premise that everything we choose to do with ourselves and how we spend our time influences our well-being. In addition, the creators of this framework have discovered key dimensions of experience that favor a state of overall health. Cedulify has based our wheel of harmony on the above-mentioned pillars of experience.
To learn more about the Do Live Well Framework, and to explore many interesting mental health resources, we encourage you to visit the following website : Do-live-well framework-Website.
How does Cedulify create a wheel of harmony specific to each user?
Currently, Cedulify collects data from Statistics Canada to estimate the appropriate amount of time users of different ages and occupation may like to consider dedicating to each dimension of experience. In addition, Cedulify utilizes certain Canadian federal and provincial guidelines to determine the amount of time a user should dedicate to certain activities. For instance, Canada has established a 24-hour movement guide that outlines how much time a person from each age category should spend moving their body to remain in good health. In short, this is how Cedulify customizes our harmony wheel to fit your needs, based on Canadian scientific research and statistics. This is only use as reference as sometimes we need guidance when we start our wellness journey.
