The Science
Every feature in Mindacuity is rooted in peer-reviewed research and international clinical guidelines, then adapted for the cultural realities of Indian schools.

Specialist Referral
High-risk alerts trigger counselor review and clinical referral.
Mindacuity facilitates — never replaces — professional clinical care.
Targeted Intervention
AI-identified at-risk students receive guided CBT modules.
Per WHO mhGAP Intervention Guide, 3rd edition (2023).
Universal Prevention
Wellness check-ins, mindfulness, and emotional literacy for ALL students.
Aligned with WHO recommendations on universal psychosocial interventions.

Our Commitments
Never replacing human therapists with AI.
Never selling, sharing, or monetizing student data.
Never deploying interventions without clinical evidence.
Never letting a child wait for crisis-point to receive support.
Never building for India by copying from the West.
