Equi
BetaAI-driven mental health app purpose-built for people with bipolar disorder.
The Problem
Generic wellness apps weren't built for bipolar.
Most mental health apps are designed for depression or anxiety — they track mood on a simple scale and send daily reminders. Bipolar disorder is fundamentally different. It involves cycles, not states. Episodes that last weeks. Medication that requires precise adherence. Psychiatrists who need context between appointments.
Equi is designed from the ground up for the bipolar experience — cycle-aware, crisis-ready, psychiatrist-connected, and built with the non-negotiable principle that your data stays yours.
Features
Built for how bipolar actually works.
Mood & Cycle Tracking
Track manic, depressive, stable, and mixed states with a color system designed around how bipolar actually feels — not how clinicians label it.
AI Wellness Reports
Weekly AI-generated insights from your mood data. Powered by Llama 3.1 70B via Groq with zero data retention — your data is never stored by the AI.
Psychiatrist Booking
Browse verified psychiatrists and book appointments directly in the app. Psychiatrist data is never shared without your explicit consent.
Crisis Mode
One-tap access to emergency contacts, crisis resources, and a structured de-escalation flow — available offline.
Medication Adherence
Track medications, set reminders, and monitor adherence over time without judgment. Missed days don't break streaks.
Anonymous Community
Peer support from people who understand — chronological feed, fully anonymous by default, no algorithmic manipulation.
Wearable Integration
Connects with Apple HealthKit and Google Fit to enrich cycle data with sleep, activity, and heart rate patterns.
Relapse Signature Builder
Build a personalized map of your early warning signs — so you and your support network can act before an episode peaks.
Why Equi is different
Built for bipolar. Not retrofitted.
