Inspiration We were inspired by the growing need for accessible mental health solutions and the connection between stress management and financial well-being. Understanding how stress impacts health and productivity, we aimed to create a platform that encourages proactive mental health care while offering financial incentives.

What it does SootheAI is an AI-driven mental health chatbot that provides real-time emotional support through sentiment analysis, helping users manage stress and track their emotional state. Users earn insurance rewards like reduced premiums and bonuses for consistent engagement, fostering both mental and financial wellness.

How we built it We developed SootheAI using sentiment analysis APIs to evaluate user emotions from text and tone, integrating a user-friendly interface with real-time feedback and rewards tracking. The platform is built with a focus on scalability and seamless integration with insurance systems.

Challenges we ran into We faced challenges in ensuring accurate sentiment detection across diverse user inputs, balancing data privacy with personalization, and designing a reward system that aligns with both user and insurer goals.

Accomplishments that we're proud of We successfully created a platform that bridges mental health and financial wellness, delivering real-time emotional insights while fostering user engagement through meaningful rewards. Additionally, we prioritized user privacy and achieved a functional prototype.

What we learned We learned the importance of empathetic design in mental health tools, the complexities of integrating APIs effectively, and the value of aligning user incentives with business objectives to drive engagement and outcomes.

What's next for SootheAI We plan to enhance sentiment analysis accuracy with voice recognition, expand reward partnerships with insurers, and implement multilingual support to reach a broader audience, making mental health care even more inclusive and accessible.
