SerenAI is a mindfulness and mental health app designed to support users in moments of stress, insomnia, and emotional crisis. Unlike most relaxation apps, SerenAI integrates life-saving crisis support with everyday wellness tools. Users can access emergency helplines, confidential chat, or grounding exercises like guided breathing — all within a calm, minimal interface. Powered by AI, the app adapts to each individual by detecting mood patterns, personalizing recommendations, and surfacing crisis options when needed. The result is a safe digital space that helps users relax, sleep better, and feel supported when they need it most.

About the project
Objective
Design a mindfulness app that helps people relax, sleep better, and manage stress — while also providing immediate support for those experiencing suicidal thoughts or emotional crisis.
Problem
Most relaxation apps focus on meditation and breathing but overlook users in moments of crisis. People suffering from insomnia, depression, or suicidal thoughts often feel isolated and need immediate, accessible help within the same safe environment.
Approach
Researched crisis intervention flows and best practices for mental health design.
Designed onboarding to quickly detect emotional state, including an “I’m not safe” option.
Integrated direct access to emergency services, Samaritans, and CALM chat.
Developed a grounding tool (2-minute breathing exercise) for immediate relief.
Built a calming, minimal UI using soft gradients, large tap targets, and clear typography.
AI Role
SerenAI uses artificial intelligence to personalize support and detect crisis patterns:
Mood & Crisis Detection: Identifies unsafe states through check-ins and wearable data.
Personalized Recommendations: Suggests the right activity based on stress and sleep data.
Adaptive Crisis Flow: Surfaces crisis options sooner if AI detects high risk.
Progress Insights: Reflects improvements to motivate and reassure users.
Name meaning: SerenAI = Serenity + AI → “AI-powered serenity that adapts to your needs.”
Solution
SerenAI blends relaxation tools with crisis intervention in one seamless experience:
Immediate crisis support (emergency call, helplines, confidential chat).
Grounding experiences like guided breathing in moments of distress.
Long-term wellness features: meditation, sleep aids, and mood tracking.
Personalized journeys powered by AI and wearable integration.
This ensures users who feel unsafe are never left alone, while still supporting those seeking everyday calm.
