HealthEngage Depression

$60 is an awful lot for what I've done with a few dollars worth of paper copies of some forms before. I download from MacUpdate without entering my personal data (why's that necessary on their site?) This program may not be ready for OS X. It uses an ugly Java looking GUI starting with an installer that tells me it won't work since I don't have permissions-which is true since I'm not using my admin account. But it won't let me authenticate with my admin code, so it stops me from installing. I opened the app by using "Show package contents" when I right-clicked on the installer. That worked. It isn't native to OS X, that's obvious. There's some problems of menus not scrolling far enough for you to access items. Needs polish. The data they collect and organize is pretty impressive, and I could see it being useful. You can enter foods you ate and it helps calculate nutritional intake, and for exercise it calculates calories burned. Fun. The presets are wide-ranging; from standard things like, "light exercise," to interesting occupations like, "worm digging." Cool. You can add your own too. In the end it's more than I need, and way more than I'm willing to spend. And it suffers pretty badly from non-Macness.

Tracking this type of information can be very useful in understanding and treating depression. From a quick look the program seems to be fairly thorough in the information it allows you to track. However, I think paying $59 for this program might make me more depressed

Yet again another software developer which wants folks to enter personal information about themselves prior to downloading a trial software package. Is this going to be how it is from now on? Very frustrating and invasive to my privacy, especially for a product like this!
