About

A vision to transform mental health into something truly human.

Unwind Minds was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to transform mental health care into something truly accessible, inclusive, personalised, and deeply human.

We believe that when technology is built with ethics and empathy, it becomes a bridge not a barrier to emotional wellbeing. By combining the intelligence of AI with the wisdom of biometric data, we're creating solutions that listen, learn, and respond to real human needs.

How we work

Predictive. Empathetic. Built for women.

Approach

Moving from reactive to predictive healthcare. Real time, empathetic support through adaptive dialogue and emotional tracking.

Our Technology

Layered Feeling Intelligence (LFI) not a feature but a new AI architecture, built to integrate multi modal biometric and behavioural data and learn the patterns that precede distress.

A single focus

Female biology and psychology at the core.

Expert Curated Content

Science based tools for stress reduction, self awareness, and emotional resilience.

The gap between what exists and what women actually need is not a niche.It is where we work.

We believe no one should face their mental health alone at any stage of life. From the questions no one talks about to the moments that change everything, we meet people in their real experiences, not idealised ones.

Our vision

We envision a world where mental health is seamlessly integrated into everyday life — where proactive, predictive, compassionate, and data-driven support is available to all.

How we'll get there

Through continuous innovation in advanced technology, growing scientific research, and large language models, we're shaping the future of mental health one trusted, personalised interaction at a time.

Core Leadership Team

Purpose driven, human first.

At Unwind Minds we believe women's health deserves more than symptom management, it deserves empathy, science, and empowerment.

An intelligent, clinically validated companion that supports women.
