Crackatonic Projects is a Sydney based company, focused on helping people to be proactive in managing illness through the use of web and desktop applications.
The first product released by Crackatonic Projects is "Optimism", a desktop application that was initially developed specifically for people with mood disorders. Since its launch in January 2008 it has been very well received in the mental health field.
Optimism is a stay-well planning application that equips the user to better understand their illness, to help them in finding strategies to stay well, and to assume more control over their health. It is designed to integrate within a wider treatment plan, with charts and reports available for sending to a health professional by email. This makes it ideal for people who are not able to visit their health provider regularly.
Crackatonic Projects also develops interactive applications for displaying advertising materials and magazines online. It does this in conjunction with its sister company, Bishop Konig Advertising.
