NatureDose can monitor your time inside, outside, and exposed to natural environments to help you leverage the proven benefits of nature exposure for better mental and physical health. In the current world of never-ending technostress and screen addiction, NatureDose is the antidote to help you unplug for just a few minutes a day. Better health and wellness is right outside.
On par with diet, exercise, or adequate sleep, making nature exposure an essential part of your lifestyle is one of the best choices you can make for your health and wellness.

In short, these studies prove that nature exposure can result in a longer, healthier, and even happier life.

Ratings and Reviews
Eye Opening
I read about this app in Outside magazine and decided to give it a go. I have found it to be both inspirational and eye opening. I have realized how little time I actually spend outside even though I’m an avid runner and cyclist. It has made me look for ways to try to get outside and into nature more often. There are a few things I’d like to see added to the app to get more out of it like a daily summary and maybe a widget on my Apple Watch but overall I really enjoy this app.
Love it!
I’d wanted an app like this for a long time. This is exactly what I needed and I’m glad there’s finally a way to quantify my outdoor time (and encourage me to get outside in nature more).
My only request would be a bit more transparency into exactly how the NatureScore is calculated and what factors are most relevant. For some reason, my neighborhood gets a very low score despite having a lot of trees and greenery, and the area around my kid’s school gets a higher score, despite looking exactly the same. I’d love to know why.
Developer Response ,
Larisa, thanks for the review! Hope you're continuing to enjoy the app. We plan to enhance the presentation of NatureScore in the app in the future. For now, take a look at our web page on it (where you can also get scores), as it explains some more: https://www.naturequant.com/naturescore/ In particular it will show you the radius of examination for the area, which may help in showing the difference between the two locations. A key thing to note is that we are measuring the health-beneficial nature (and really overall physical environment), as determined via a machine learning process where we correlate natural environment to health outcomes. The web page will show you these health benefits as well. We use a lot of different inputs, so not just tree cover, vegetation, and so on, but buildings, highways, pollution, and other elements to determine this. Therefore just looking at the aerial map image won't tell you the full story. Take a look, and then feel free to send any further questions to info@naturequant.com, or using the feedback mechanism in the app.
This app is addictive in a healthy way
After reading about Nature Dose and its scientific underpinnings in Outside magazine, I downloaded it and immediately found that the daily snapshot of my outdoor time made me more likely to get out of my office for fresh air and exercise several times a day. I’ve seen my nature time go up month after month, so much that I’ve increased my weekly goal twice. The app is easy to use and better than any diet!
