IdeaUmit App - stress SOS tool and innovative neurotherapy simulator for the healthcare market

UMIT is an innovative, science-based mobile application designed to bring teens immediate emotional relief and long-term mental wellness. Created by a team of high school students in collaboration with psychologists and AI specialists, UMIT addresses the common yet often overlooked challenges faced by teenagers — including academic stress, sleep issues, and emotional overload. The app is simple, comforting, and tailored to the unique needs of adolescents, especially in Kazakhstan and surrounding regions. At its core, UMIT functions as a neurotherapy simulator for everyday use. Through short, interactive games based on proven techniques such as deep breathing, sensory grounding (“5-4-3-2-1”), and mindfulness, the app helps stabilize the nervous system and reduce anxiety symptoms in just a few minutes a day. These games are not only calming but engaging — making therapeutic routines more approachable and consistent for young users. One of UMIT’s standout features is Umit the Dragon — a virtual, customizable companion that grows with the user, offers motivation, and reacts to their mood. Umit supports users during stressful moments, encourages self-care, and even changes color and expressions based on how the user feels. This emotional connection helps create a safe and non-judgmental environment, turning the app into a daily emotional anchor. UMIT also includes an intuitive sleep and mood tracker that visualizes trends through clean, simple graphs. This builds emotional awareness and supports the development of healthier routines. The app is powered by advanced tools like YAMNet AI, which detects breathing patterns through the phone’s microphone, and Groq AI, which offers rapid, real-time emotional chat support — making it both smart and deeply responsive. Beyond emotional support, UMIT plays an essential preventive role in mental and physical health. Regular use of the app contributes to reduced stress levels, improved sleep, and emotional regulation — all of which are directly linked to the prevention of neurological and cardiovascular diseases. By promoting calm and balance in the nervous system, UMIT supports teen users in protecting their long-term cognitive and physical well-being. With its affordable $1.50/month subscription, simple design, and strong emotional appeal, UMIT is more than just another mental health app. It’s a daily therapeutic companion that empowers young people to care for their minds and bodies — one breath, one game, and one step at a time.
