Who created Joyster?

Joyster was created by Paula Barcante and Steve Viselli. Joyster didn’t come from a psychiatrist office or a research lab. It came from Paula’s own personal experience. She has suffered from anxiety her whole life. In 2019, she experienced her first panic attack. She wanted to understand her anxiety and panic and she kept questioning why she was having a panic attack, so Paula started tracking good and bad days on a spreadsheet. She would rate and graph her anxiety, depression, and panic levels against her body symptoms and activities. After 20+ spreadsheets, she created Joyster.
