Overview

What They Do

elephAi, built by Unwind Minds, is a maternal mental health platform for women trying to conceive, pregnant, or in the postpartum period. A daily emotional check-in under 30 seconds anchors her mood to validated clinical screening instruments (EPDS, CORE-10, WSAS, PHQ-9), building a continuous trajectory rather than a single isolated data point. This feeds our proprietary Layered Feeling Intelligence (LFI) engine, architected in three independent layers: BRAIN, our predictive ML model trained on a custom maternal psychometric dataset; HEART, our passive data-acquisition layer syncing sleep, activity, and wearable signals without adding burden; and HARDSHIELD, a deterministic escalation pathway structurally independent from the predictive model, so a genuinely at-risk case is never left to an algorithm's judgment alone — real risk routes immediately to a human clinician.

Challenge

Problem We Are Solving

Pregnancy and early motherhood are the highest-risk window for emotional overload in a woman's life, yet today's support arrives late and in silos — up to 70% of early distress is missed or never diagnosed, because standard care relies on point-in-time questionnaires rather than continuous signal. Untreated perinatal mood disorders cost Europe an estimated €14B annually, and the WHO is explicit that left unaddressed, severe maternal distress can carry real risk of self-harm.
