Smilamind vs MindSteer

Nowadays, various stress factors lead to a high level of psychological strain with adolescents and young adults being particularly affected. The unprecedented increase in the number of cases lead to a major undersupply in traditional psychiatric treatment. Experts speak of a mental health crisis and of the need to find new methods and solutions that could help to relieve the existing mental care system. Smilamind faces this problem and develops an evidence-based and discreet application that is tailored to the needs of young people, strengthens their mental health, rises awareness for, educates about and destigmatizes the mental health topic. Using an innovative AI-driven holistic approach into health and wellbeing we’re measuring physical parameters such as sleep and activity detected from the wearable device and the mobile phone and correlate them with perceived wellbeing showing young people the interplay between physical and mental health.

MindSteer brings together a thought diary, guided CBT-inspired exercises, mood tracking and calming audio. Put a repeating thought into words, explore another way to see it and make room for a moment to unwind. GIVE REPEATING THOUGHTS A SECOND LOOK When a situation stays on your mind, write down what happened and the thought that followed. Separate the facts from your first interpretation, consider another perspective and choose a next step. The exercises turn reflection into something you can practice with a real situation. FIND A WAY INTO THE EXERCISE You do not need to know where to start with an empty page. Guided prompts help you explore the connection between thoughts, emotions and actions. Follow exercise paths inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy, or return to a tool you want to practice again. UNDERSTAND YOUR MOOD IN CONTEXT Record how you feel and what was happening around that moment. Add context, then return to your entries to reflect on your days. Your mood journal gives feelings a place in your own words, alongside the situations you want to understand. MAKE ROOM FOR CALM Choose a guided meditation, a breathing session, calming sounds or content for sleep. Use the audio player and its timer to shape a pause during the day or before bed. Some days you may want to write; on others, you may want to listen and slow down. KEEP YOUR PRACTICE WITHIN REACH Create routines, follow guided exercise paths and see the activities you have completed. Your progress helps you find where to pick up again, so you can give continuity to the tools you choose to practice. START WITH WHAT YOU NEED TODAY A thought that keeps circling. A mood you want to put into words. A moment to breathe. Begin with one entry, one exercise or one audio session and choose a small next step for your self-care. Open MindSteer and start with the thought taking up the most space today. Give yourself the chance to see it from another angle. Some exercises and audio require a MindSteer Premium subscription.
