Overview
Refraim is an app that uses AI to help users identify and change their cognitive distortions, while promoting daily mental health exercises and different perspectives on difficult situations. It reframes negative thoughts to help keep your mind healthy, but is not intended to replace mental health treatment.
The seed of the idea
During our hackathon, my team and I brainstormed over what ideas we could use to match the theme of AI for good. One of our team members was passionate about the book "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by David D. Burns, which discusses cognitive distortions and how we see ourselves versus how others see us.
Our goal was to create an app that uses AI to help people identify and change their cognitive distortions, while promoting daily mental health exercises and different perspectives on difficult situations. We were inspired by the positive impact the book had on our team member's friend, who learned to identify cognitive distortions and changed their outlook on life.
