Problem People of all ages have mental stress and problems in their lives. Students have school stress, peer pressure, in academically competitive countries like Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, China, stress is so high that some students commit suicide to end. Young people entering workforce, will begin to have work related stress, financial stress, drug & alcohol problems, gambling, mortgage. Middle age people will have stress of raising a family, marriage problems, domestic violence, abuse and other issues. Even elderly people who have gone through life, retired and can begin to truly enjoy life, being carefree, may also have stresses like worrying about their children's lives, loneliness, and missing their children's company because they have moved out. These are just some examples of issues, problems and stress that affects everyone in the world, and it's causing mental health problems like depression, insomnia, etc.
What are the problems you are facing today?
So you are definitely aware, these kinds of problems are affecting everyone of all ages, they face different problems in different stages of life, and worry about different sets of things. But it's like cancer, people don't usually seek out professional help, because they feel they can deal with it. They don't seek doctors for help at early symptoms, they only begin to look for help when (like cancer) it's already late/terminal stage, when pain is no longer bearable. People let stress build up until they no longer can bear it in themselves, and it most likely end up in worst possible outcome - e.g. depression, divorce, murder, domestic violence, sexual abuse and death.
Common reasons would include people can't be bothered making an appointment with counsellors and specialists, because they have to wait for months. Or the price is very expensive and people feel they can still live by without it. Or they are too shy to let others know they have problems in their lives, or maybe inconvenient for them. At most, people just let one or two close friends know and confide in, but they are no professionals/trained specialists, and the help they can give is very limited.
Solution What if we can connect people with counsellors, trained professionals, doctors, and specialists instantly with the touch of their hand at anytime, anywhere, in the privacy of their own choosing? That's why we're launching this health app with almost 100000 (and increasing) counsellors globally to assist people with problems. They can text, chat on messenger, call, video call or choose to visit physically when they feel ready. It will be cheaper than physically visiting a specialist who charges hundreds/hr, having to wait 3-6 months, a year or sometimes even more for popular and great ones.
We're done with alpha testing, and begin invited-only beta testing in the coming weeks.
