Project Aims

  • To tackle prevalent mental health issues amongst university students
  • To enhance people’ s mental fitness by promoting a mindfully conscious self-help lifestyle, with the help of mobile technologies

Key Challenges
Research shows that over 50% of university students show symptoms of anxiety and depression at clinically high levels. There is a lack of professional resources to help them, and those we have focus mainly on students with serious mental health problems. A massive at-risk population, including many students, is being left out by the current initiatives. This at-risk population could greatly benefit from self-help resources to manage their mental fitness.
Solutions
Manatee is a gamified mindfulness application companion. It employs clinically proven practice and gamification features to enhance the mindfulness experience of users and encourage them to keep using the product. Manatee has developed and recorded scenario-based guided meditation content, including over 80 soundtracks that cover typical sources of stress.

Manatee bridges the market gap and strives to tackle the mental health crisis through a clinically-proven, technology-driven and mindfulness-based self-help digital platform.
