Improving mental health with cognitive assistance
The Brief
Millions globally struggle with working memory issues, busy lives, and the overwhelming feeling of being constantly “on.” In today’s hyper-connected world, we’re drowning in information, apps, and to-do lists. This constant mental overload leads to stress, anxiety, and a diminished ability to focus on what truly matters: personal growth, relationships, and pursuing passions.
Our brief to ourselves: collect data, explore, and unlock potential.
Approach
While the concept of a “second brain” for knowledge management has gained traction, notably through the work of Tiago Forte, our concept takes this idea a step further by focusing on personalized cognitive assistance and emotional synthesis. Key features:
- Captures and catalogs your thoughts, ideas, and concepts through voice input, just like your real brain,
- Processes and summarizes your emotions, providing valuable insights for self-awareness and improved mental well-being. Ideal for use in clinical settings with therapists.
- Your data is encrypted and stored securely, accessible only to you.
- The app learns how you think and work, adapting over time to become a seamless extension of your cognitive processes.
Impact
We are pioneering a new category of “cognitive offloading”, going beyond traditional tools focussed on productivity, and providing AI-powered personalization and emotional synthesis capabilities to support holistic well-being.
This project is in the early concept and functional prototype stage.
