The Challenge
Each year, 42.8 million adults in the United States experience mental health illnesses, and this number has risen by 25% globally since the onset of COVID-19. The impact of disturbed mental health is not limited to individual sufferers, as it also results in unproductivity that costs approximately US$1 trillion per year due to the loss of 12 million working days worldwide to depression and anxiety.
The Opportunity
The need to address mental health issues has become a popular topic of discussion, with numerous interventions being introduced. One such initiative is the ZenFit project proposal, which aims to make accessing mental health support as easy and approachable as going to the gym with a friend. The ZenFit platform offers four integrated services designed to help users navigate the emotional ups and downs of life.
App features:
ZenMe: ZenMe is a smart diagnostic tool that utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to provide insights into a user's mental fitness and stressors. It also gathers information on a user's daily activities, such as sleep patterns and social interactions, to provide personalized recommendations for improving their mental fitness and managing stress. It also includes progress tracking to help users stay motivated.
ZenCare: A need of professional therapists might be felt in cases of extremely disturbed mental health, ZenCare is a directory of licensed therapists and mental health professionals that users can search for based on their location, specialty, and insurance coverage. It provides users with a convenient and reliable way to find a therapist that meets their specific needs, who are licensed professionals.
ZenSpace: ZenMe also directs users to a personalized ZenSpace. The ZenSpace is a digital platform that offers mindfulness resources tailored to the user's preferences, such as guided meditations, breathing exercises, and relaxing music. ZenSpace offers peer support, allowing users to connect with like-minded individuals who are also striving for mental wellness. Users can share their experiences, support one another, and provide encouragement in a safe and supportive environment.
ZenXP: ZenXP provides an opportunity for individuals to not only improve their mental well-being through meditation but also to engage in meaningful service work that benefits their community. It connects users with service opportunities in their local communities, allowing them to give back and make a positive impact. By providing both meditation practices and service opportunities, ZenXp offers users a holistic approach to mental wellness and community engagement.

Conclusion
Mental well-being is still neglected by many people because of the social stigma and the unawareness of the potential consequences it can have on someone. With the rapid growth of technology day-by-day, specifically the advantage of Web3.0 decentralizing the autonomy in the hands of users, the social stigma around not prioritizing mental well-being could be dealt very easily. More platforms like ZenFit would not only reduce the hesitation of practicing mental well-being as self care but would also reduce the associated risks that a bad mental health brings.
