What specific problem are you solving?
In conflict-affected and low-resource communities, individuals face high psychological distress, yet have little access to safe, stigma-free mental health care.
Existing services rely on in-person sessions, trained psychologists, and centralized systems—none of which scale in humanitarian settings or high-pressure work environments. Meanwhile, most tech-based solutions are neither trauma-informed nor adaptable for low-data settings.
WellShift addresses these gaps by offering a mobile, AI-powered wellbeing platform that operates even offline. It provides personalized emotional regulation using physiological data, behavioral cues (like writing pace, rhythm), and cultural context.
The app supports community health workers (CHWs), educators, frontline responders, and vulnerable populations in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, and Jordan. It empowers users to self-regulate, while enabling leaders to monitor group wellbeing via dashboards.
Backed by pilots, dashboards, and peer support networks, WellShift transforms the way mental health is delivered across fragile settings and organizations.
What is your solution?
WellShift is a self-care and community mental health solution that delivers real-time emotional coaching via AI, wearable integration, and digital therapeutics.
Users engage with it through a mobile app, offline version, or as part of guided wellbeing programs and workshops. The core engine uses biometric inputs (heart rate, HRV, skin conductance), behavioral data (e.g., writing pace, rhythm), and psychometric quizzes to create tailored wellbeing journeys.
What sets WellShift apart:
Biofeedback + CBT: Techniques from HeartMath, AI-supported decision trees, and trauma-informed behavioral coaching.
Leader Dashboards: For monitoring group wellbeing and tailoring support interventions at scale.
Offline Mode: Usable in areas with limited internet.
Peer Support Layer: Encourages connection and community healing.
Traction & Partnerships: Piloted with 1,300+ users across the Middle East with data showing >30% improvement in psychological safety and emotional regulation.
Already used in healthcare, academic, and refugee settings, WellShift is more than an app—it's an ecosystem for mental resilience and recovery.
