2. Diversity and multilingual capability: Skodel’s app can be translated into multiple languages to support diverse user groups.
3. Security: Skodel ensures all data in the application is encrypted in transit, and at rest, with the guarantees provided by Google.

4. Integration capability: Integrates with Microsoft Teams, SSO capabilities with Google and Microsoft and maintains open API to integrate with platforms as per your needs.
5. Evidence based: Co-designed alongside Andrew Fuller who is one of Australia’s leading clinical psychologists. He is also a Fellow of the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Learning and Educational Development at the University of Melbourne.
