Model & Strategy.

Descriptor.

Mynd securely leverages young adults’ unique social media data to help them learn more about themselves, and the things that make them unique. Mynd shows users insights such as your interests, characteristics, triggers, etc. online. The app also enables users to set and achieve social media goals.

Problem.

Adolescents and young adults face depression, anxiety, insecurity, addiction, etc. in part due to social media feeds that prioritize attention on teen wellbeing. Yet, social media is the public square of our youth and holds potential as a creative engine. Teens face a decision to lose out on potential creative expression or to risk their mental health.

Solution.

Mynd uplifts young social media users by giving them insights into themselves based on their social media behavior. Users plug in their social media accounts and Mynd gleans insights from users’ interest to mood. Additionally, users can set, measure, and achieve custom goals with these insights as accountability. For example, a user might see that political outrage negatively impacts them, and unfollow some associated accounts.
