Questions people actually ask us.

Condri is a self-help app for breaking the health anxiety spiral: the worry, the checking, the relief that never holds. Joe, our founder, started it after years inside that loop himself, stuck on the question of why the right tools were so hard to practice consistently. The app is the answer he wished he'd had: structured daily exercises, a panic button for the moments you'd normally reach for Google, and a path you work through rather than content you scroll.

It's not an AI doctor, a symptom checker, or reassurance on demand. Those things feel good for a minute, but quietly make the loop worse. Condri isn't ChatGPT or Google, and that's by design: it won't tell you whether the lump is serious, and it doesn't diagnose or treat medical conditions. It's also not a replacement for your GP.

The exercises are grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy and exposure-based methods, which have the strongest research record for health anxiety: a meta-analysis of 14 trials found large symptom reductions, with gains still holding years later (Cooper et al., 2017; Tyrer et al., 2021). An app can't do the work for you, though. The people who improve are the ones who do the exercises, especially the uncomfortable ones.

Real people, with their names and faces on the team page. Joe Newton founded Condri after years with health anxiety and OCD. George Punter, the co-founder, had already spent years building mental-health software and handles product and engineering. Karolina Maria Martin, a consultant psychologist, reviewed the app independently and later joined the team. We've also sat down with specialists like Prof Lynne Drummond, one of the UK's most experienced OCD clinicians, and you can watch those conversations in full.

No. Most people with health anxiety never get a formal diagnosis; they just know the pattern. If you recognise the loop of worry, checking, and short-lived relief, that's enough to start. Our free quiz uses the SHAI-14, a validated screening questionnaire, to give you a baseline in about three minutes. It's a screening score, not a diagnosis.

No. Condri is meant to complement professional care, not replace it. Plenty of members use it alongside therapy, as the practice between sessions. If you can access a good therapist, take that. If you're on a waiting list, can't afford it, or can't find someone who knows health anxiety, Condri gives you a structured way to start the work now. And if you're ever in crisis, please reach out to a crisis line rather than an app.

Condri is a paid subscription, and we're upfront that paying isn't right for everyone. Subscriptions bought through our website come with a money-back guarantee: do the programme, and if your health anxiety hasn't improved, have a call with us and we'll send your money back. If cost is a barrier, our YouTube channel and free tools are there, and always will be.

The reviews mostly mention two things: the panic button, which talks you through the moment you'd normally reach for Google, and finally having structure instead of going it alone. We keep a page of real store reviews, including the one-star one.
