I built a mental health app to fix mine

Hacker News

Hi HN, I’m still in college and new to the startup world, but here is my first shot at a side project: Milburn, an integrated therapy+journal tool( https://milburn.vercel.app/ ). I built Milburn bc every mental health tool I could find was missing something: the therapy apps didn’t have voice/memory/too expensive, and the journal apps were always a PITA to sync with therapy. We trained the chatbot’s model on specific therapy modalities(I personally need CBT sessions, but we also have others like DBT), and then created a prompted journal, added a feedback loop, voice capabilities, and a triage questionnaire. We’re clearly still at a super early stage and new to this lol, so we would appreciate any feedback on the tool/idea: What resonates? What’s missing? Is this different enough to the myriad other mental health apps on the market? I’d especially appreciate insights from those who’ve worked in mental health tech or have experience with similar tools. We’re also looking for beta users so drop me an email at [rkrithik@seas.upenn.edu](mailto:rkrithik@seas.upenn.edu) if you’d like some free access!
