OVERVIEW
Kavan connects people to licensed mental-health support with guardrails for safety and continuity. It blends live sessions, journaling, and moderated community spaces without feeling like a generic chat app.
THE PROBLEM
- People delay care when booking a therapist feels bureaucratic, and crisis moments do not wait for office hours.
- Journals become abandoned text files with no signal for clinicians or the user.
- Peer support can turn unsafe without moderation and clear boundaries.
THE SOLUTION
- We implemented guided onboarding to match intent (therapy vs. skills vs. peer support) and reduce drop-off.
- Secure video sessions and session notes live alongside the user timeline providers actually reference.
- Mood journaling uses lightweight prompts and trends so patterns surface without overwhelming charts.
- Anonymous groups are topic-based with reporting flows and human-in-the-loop moderation hooks.
- Reminder automation respects quiet hours and adapts to streaks and missed days gently.
- Privacy-first defaults (minimal profile surfacing) keep sensitive use cases comfortable.
