Opportunity

Mental health support gaps hinder daily well-being, however, finding the self-motivation to tackle it is a difficult feat in itself.

With today’s mental health crisis, and a lack of consistent attention through only relying on crisis hotlines, addressing these mental health concerns on a daily basis can be difficult, especially to those who struggle to find time, motivation, or access to professional help. There is also a struggle in those who have trouble applying what they learn in these sessions in their real life.

RESEARCH

CBT empowers individuals to manage mental health through behavioral changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to reduce symptoms of various mental health conditions, primarily for depression and anxiety disorders. The goal of CBT is to help the individual enact change in thinking patterns and behaviors, thereby improving quality of life not by changing the circumstances in which the person lives, but by helping the person take control of his or her own perception of those circumstances.

These AI pets gamify self-care, fostering positive habits and mental well-being.

RESULTS

This self-care companion pet collection aids in helping individuals progress with their mental exercise daily. These AI pets help administer cognitive behavioral therapy through mutually beneficial positive habit-making. For example, the pet can’t be fed unless you make your bed, complete a task, or do some mindfulness work against toxic thought patterns. It’s a friendly way to hold those accountable who are going through a hard time and have fallen behind in their self-care. It also provides low-maintenance companionship to those who can’t commit to a real live therapy animal.

take care of them by taking care of yourself.
