Diverse Approaches to Mind & Inner Well-Being

An open-source chat platform to empathize, share and systematically resolve inner challenges with one another. Through dialog with live humans and AI/ML bots that extract the best solutions from each dialog, across dialogs, we can provide resources to work through our inner challenges with far greater depth and effectiveness.

Across the world we are suffering from a variety of deep, inner challenges including stress, trauma, depression, and lack of self-awareness. We simply don't know where to turn and how to evolve our perspective to overcome our challenges. There remains a huge gulf between us and the people and resources who truly connect with our unique perspective as well as share with us various alternate point-of-views that can help.

Our solution is derived from a systematic, simple, and highly intuitive step-by-step chain of dependencies.

An inner challenge

• leads to ... confusion in processing our experience
• leads to ... frustration, stress, and depression
• leads to ... seeking out a platform to connect with others
• leads to ... discovering such a platform
• leads to ... engaging and interacting with those of different perspectives (human and ML/AI)
• leads to ... greater insight from various perspectives
• leads to ... overcoming our challenge
• leads to ... better health, more fruitful relationships, increased productivity, and happier life
• leads to ... generated data, perspective maps and analysis that can help others and advance our knowledge

Those of us who are facing internal challenges and are not able to find people or resources that can relate with how we actually think, feel, and live. These would initially be populations that don't have ready access to mental-health services. Solution will be provided through offline and online marketing channels.

• Our approach is founded on the premise of systematically providing multiple perspectives to help one overcome inner challenges, through human and AI/ML based chat.

• We will be integrating comprehensive tools, maps, and analytics to help ensure that a person successfully overcomes whatever challenge they might be facing.

We are broadening our approach to mental-health by including a variety of perspectives of mental health. Rather than approach mental health from a single or small set of perspectives, we hope to provide a venue from a variety of approaches, from Western psychodynamic, biological, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to a variety of culturally, philosophical, and spiritual traditions across the planet.

Our interface we hope to be freely available through the Web, and through mobile apps, including through Chat tools that currently exist.

• We are currently bootstrapping our efforts. However, through our base at T-Hub, India's largest startup incubator, and if all goes well, through the Solve network, we hope to establish the resources to flesh out and scale our efforts.

• As this work is community-centric and open source, we hope to receive grants and donations from corporates, NGO's, partners and sponsors. People will be rewarded by recognition, satisfaction in solving these challenges, and increased visibility and leverage for their respective organizations.

• Resistance to integrating multiple perspectives on mental health, especially if they seem to conflict.
• Stigma of mental-health in India.
• Attaining resources and funding to support our open-source platform.

Whether we make it to the final stage or not, we hope that submitting through Solve will allow us to connect with industry, academic, and community leaders who resonate with the work and our approach to help flesh out this vision.
