Private, personalized mental wellness

Resilient Moment

AI support that did not require surrendering private thoughts.

The problem

Quality mental health care remains out of reach for many people. We set out to widen access through personalized support without turning private reflection into a server-side profile.

The work

What I carried.

The Joyment app delivered personalized exercises informed by CBT, with sensitive user data processed and stored on the device.

  1. 01

    Brought together a founding team with experience in consumer health, technology, growth, and mental health research, then led the product and technical roadmaps.

  2. 02

    Built the React Native app around on-device data and privacy-first defaults, then evaluated and integrated LLM, speech, voice, and image services, optimizing each for quality and cost.

  3. 03

    Ran a year-long beta with more than 130 users and input from more than 40 mental health professionals.

Decisions that mattered

Put privacy in the architecture

User history and personal material stayed on the device. Privacy was a data-flow decision, not a paragraph added before launch.

Measure the whole experience

The team tested the exercise, language, voice, onboarding, and perceived value with users and mental health professionals throughout the beta.

Joyment App by Resilient Moment showed me that useful AI depends as much on restraint and trust as it does on model quality.
