What I mean is, is there any virtual pet device or app where the pet actually represents you, the user, and in it you report if you have eaten, showered, exercised, how you're feeling, etc, and that is reflected in the pet/avatar? Could be a helpful thing for people with depression or any problem that makes them have difficulty for self care.

I got a smartwatch recently and after describing using/wearing it my sister said “you turned yourself into a tamagotchi”. Might not have an avatar, but it’s fairly gamified.
