Key problems in the existing apps
Self-help apps expect people to fix themselves.
Most mental health apps assume habit-building is enough. But when someone is truly struggling, self-correction without professional guidance often breaks down.
Activities feel calming, but disconnected from real care.
Exercises can help in the moment, but jumping between random activities doesn’t lead to long-term improvement without direction.
Effort isn’t tied to progress.
Users journal, assess, and reflect but rarely understand how these actions connect to growth or next steps.
People label themselves without clarity.
Apps ask users to identify conditions on their own, offering generic tasks without proper diagnosis or professional context.
What I aim to solve?
Guide users to understand their emotional state.
Connect users with therapists through a simple flow.
Replace random self-help with structured care.
Make journaling and assessments purposeful.
Link user actions to real progress.
Support self-awareness with professional guidance.
This was the aha! moment
Not more tools, just the right ones, designed with intention and support.
Tradeoffs
Depth over speed – Richer clinical context prioritized over quick summaries.
Assistance over automation –AI supports judgment, never replaces it.
Flexibility over standard – Workflows adapt to therapists, not the other way around.
