Problem

In 2023, the World Health Organization reported that one in eight people worldwide live with mental health conditions. These challenges affect not only health and well-being, but also relationships, work, and community.

Despite the growing number of health and fitness apps, few combine personal reflection with real-time support and a deeper, philosophical perspective. With AI technology advancing quickly, there is an opportunity to build a tool that supports mental health while respecting the integrity, individuality, and privacy of its users.

Why STABILISE?

STABILISE is designed to be simple, thoughtful, and effective. It helps users:

• Track moods with clarity.
• Reflect on thoughts through a philosophical lens.
• Access helpful techniques, tools, and resources.

At its heart, STABILISE is built on the idea that philosophy — the love of wisdom — can improve mental health. Philosophy provides frameworks for understanding life’s challenges. Paired with AI, it allows users to connect personal reflections with centuries of thought, while also offering practical, present-day techniques.

STABILISE is not a substitute for professional care. Instead, it is a supplementary assistant: a supportive space where knowledge, reflection, and resources come together to help users make healthier decisions.

Key Features

Mood Tracking

Mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder require careful and consistent monitoring. Changes in mood can be gradual and difficult to notice until they become severe. STABILISE makes daily tracking easier, helping users recognize subtle patterns over time and complements professional care with greater self-awareness.

Journal & Analysis

The journal is the heart of STABILISE. Users can write down thoughts or emotions and receive a comprehensive analysis in return. Rather than offering prescriptive advice, STABILISE connects reflections to philosophical ideas while maintaining an ethical boundary.

For example:

• Someone feeling powerless might be advised to read Stoic ideas about understanding what can and cannot be controlled in our lives and accept this understanding with equanimity.
• Someone questioning meaning in light of their condition might draw from existentialist perspectives on freedom and choice to create their own meaning through positive actions in their lives.

Over time, STABILISE enables users to recognize recurring patterns in their thoughts and behavior, offering them a deeper view of their inner world and healthy ways of interpreting their experiences.

Resources & Local Connections

STABILISE offers resources tailored to user interests. Instead of generic suggestions like “go outside,” it might recommend a local art event or park nearby. It also serves as an active reminder for users to connect with good friends, support groups, medical professionals, crisis centers, and mental health hotlines.

Conclusion

STABILISE is more than an app. It is an AI emotional support assistant while traveling through life and seeking balance. By combining mood tracking, philosophical reflection, and practical information, it creates a foundation of wisdom and care.

Mental health concerns often bring instability and uncertainty. STABILISE responds with knowledge, perspective, and tools to help users reconnect with stability — and with themselves.
