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 mobile apps and websites, few combine personal reflection with a 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 visual clarity.
• Reflect on thoughts through a philosophical lens.
• Receive helpful techniques, tools, and resources.

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

STABILISE is not a substitute for professional human care. Instead, it is a supplementary AI companion: a supportive space where knowledge, reflection, and resources come together to help you form a deeper, conscientious relationship with yourself. While human connection and community are vital, a part of being able to maintain connections and feel a sense of community involves being self-aware enough to understand how your thought processes affect your behaviour in the world.

Key Features

Mood Tracking

STABILISE makes daily mood tracking easier, helping you recognize subtle patterns over time and complements professional care with greater self-awareness. STABILISE does this by calculating a running Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-42 score (DASS-42) based on your input in the reflective journal. For more information about DASS-42, please visit: https://www2.psy.unsw.edu.au/groups/dass/.

Reflective Journal & Insights

The reflective journal is the heart of STABILISE. You can enter thoughts, emotions, or questions and receive valuable insights in return. Rather than offering prescriptive advice, STABILISE connects reflections to philosophical ideas and encourages users to engage in personal reflection and self-exploration.

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 provides insights that allow you to recognize recurring patterns in your thoughts and behavior, offering you a deeper view of your inner world and productive ways of interpreting your experiences.

Resources

STABILISE offers resources in the form of book suggestions, websites, art, theories, and techniques. The intention is to ensure that you are provided with unique and thoughtful frameworks, as well as encourage personal research and practical actions in the world.

Conclusion

STABILISE is a high-quality AI-powered companion who engages in productive conversations and provides valuable insights. Traveling through life can feel like walking a tightrope sometimes and it is important to have a private space for introspection and finding balance. By combining mood tracking, considerate reflection, and practical information, it creates a foundation of wisdom and care.

Navigating your mental and emotional terrain alone can often bring instability and uncertainty. STABILISE responds with knowledge, care, perspective, and positive implementable tools to help you reconnect with stability — and with themselves.
