Impact & Outcomes

Oct 2025- April 2026
3484 students were screened using stressometer and based on the degree of emotional distress into normal. Mild, moderate, severe & profound category generated (Known as emotional wellness index), Student were referred to psychologists and psychiatrist for subsequent treatment. We plan to measure the outcome by repeating the stressometer post treatment to the degree of change post treatment eg from red to green colour on EWI spectrum & so on.

“The “stressometer” scale is designed for young adults and is a low barrier, relatively inexpensive, comprehensive electronic screening tool that is not time intensive. We are excited about this collaboration and look forward to analyzing the results once we have achieved our target number.”

Initiative Overview

The Current Gap

Stressometer addresses the critical gap between large-scale mental health need and limited specialist availability.

Most institutions do not know who is emotionally well, who needs preventive counselling, and who requires psychologist or psychiatrist referral. Existing scales often measure symptoms but do not provide a simple, scalable triage pathway.

Stressometer converts screening into an Emotional Wellness Index (EWI) and categorizes individuals into actionable risk levels, enabling early detection, timely referral, population-level mental health mapping, and efficient use of counselling and clinical resources across schools, colleges, corporates, hospitals, and communities.

We have been granted world’s FIRST PATENT IN AI BASED SOLUTION FOR MASS SCREENING OF MENTAL HEALTH in India and our concept & services are a global game changer, disrupter & a revolutionary innovation democratizing mental health which will not only counter stigma & taboo through anonymity & confidentiality, letting each & every Indian take care of their own mental health, but also help in addressing the huge gap between demand & supply.

Our Solution

To cover up gap in how mental health is screened and tracked at scale, Stressometer is India's first and only patented AI-based preventive mental health screening tool.

Stressometer is a structured, 55-question, multilingual assessment that generates an Emotional Wellness Index (EWI) on a digital interface, essentially a vital sign for emotional health (similar to what HbA1c is for diabetes or blood pressure is for cardiovascular risk or rapid antigen test was for corona).

The applications or use cases range from:
1. Consumer mental fitness
2. Enterprise burnout prediction
3. Student emotional climate monitoring,
4. Primary care triage,
5. Population-level public health intelligence and beyond.

When used for masses it elicits the addressable population for providing emotional & mental health services thus bridging the huge gap between demand & supply of trained mental health professionals in the world.

Key Learnings

Main challenges are finance required for developing the software, entry barriers for adaption of stressometer challenging the mindset of all stake holders from reactive to preventive mental health care, shortage of mental health professional & developing necessary required ecosystem for scaling up the solution all over a region or a country
Any innovation takes time to be understood scaling is very challenging and all stake holders must be united weather be in public or private sector for smooth delivery of digital mental health solution implementation
International collaboration open the gates for spread of the concept worldwide beside reinforcing the legitimacy merit and genuineness of the concept and invention

Looking Ahead

We plan to scale up all over India through various partner like central and state government, Educational Institute, Hospital and corporate and post screening connecting the participant to the right professional whether in public or private sector
Any educational institute, corporate, hospital and Govt. and non govt org. from any part of the world can collaborate with us.
