## Quick Answer

Como has 22 implemented coping tools in Explore. Awareness Check is also part of Como, but it lives as a separate meal check-in flow rather than one of these 22 coping tools.

Como is not a calorie tracker, macro tracker, food database, food scoring app, medical treatment, therapy, clinical diagnosis, crisis support, or a substitute for professional care.
