The Full Story
Positivminds was founded during the second lockdown in India, where the founding team observed that near and dear one’s were going through either high risk of depression or anxiety due to various factors apart from just the pandemic. The team then spent the next few months talking to principals, teachers, parents, students and working professionals to understand various reasons and causes. We ran a survey across 50,000 individuals to arrive at the problem statement. The outcome of the survey indicated a dire need for mental health support systems among the population assessed.
We are reinventing mental health and emotional wellbeing care by using data science & Artificial Intelligence in collaboration with clinicians and researchers, designers and writers. Our objectives are
-
To allow for proactive conversations to develop around emotional well-being through education and training.
-
To provide a medium which helps identify patterns of anxiety and depression and thereby provide immediate care.
-

Provide access to the right set of assessment tools: post awareness comes easy access to the right set of assessment tools to understand if an individual is going through a problem or not.

Williams, DSW, and Kurt Kroenke, MD in the mid-1990’s under a grant from Pfizer. These tools are widely used by all mental health centers globally.
