HealMind_AI

HealMind_AI is Neuralyn’s research program for an emotion-aware, voice-first mental wellness companion designed to provide always-available support and structured therapeutic guidance while remaining explicitly positioned as a complement to professional care.

Abstract

HealMind_AI explores a new model of mental wellness support: continuous, context-aware emotional assistance that adapts its responses over time using multimodal cues (primarily voice + language) and structured intervention frameworks. Unlike reactive tools, it is designed for early detection + gentle intervention-supporting emotional regulation, self-awareness, and habit formation through an always-available interface.

Problem

Most mental health support is intermittent and reactive. Users often seek help only after distress escalates, and there’s limited continuity between check-ins. Tools frequent lack personalization across time, context, and emotional patterns, creating gaps precisely when timely support would matter most.

Hypothesis

A voice-first, emotion-aware conversational system-paired with structured, evidence-aligned intervention patterns and longitudinal memory-can improve early awareness of emotional shifts, adherence to therapeutic routines, and moment-to-moment emotional regulation.

Methods

  • Continuous affect signal capture (Voice prosody + Language markers)
  • Real-time emotional state inference (Multi-signal fusion + Trend modeling)
  • Adaptive intervention logic (Intervention selection engine + Personalization loops)
  • Longitudinal evaluation (Within-user trend analysis + Safety monitoring)
  • Safety and clinical alignment (Guardrails + Professional routing)
