At Astric, we believe in the power of innovation, data, and human connection to transform lives.
We are thrilled to introduce our latest initiative, RIC – a concept designed to revolutionize mental health and wellness through personalized support, community engagement, and advanced analytics.
Over the past few months, our Product Innovation, Strategic Analytics, and Creative Engagement teams have been working tirelessly to develop RIC. As part of this process, we recently conducted an extensive survey to gather insights from individuals across the United States.
The response was overwhelming, reaching over 10,000 people and providing invaluable insight.
Our survey revealed critical insights into the demographics, mental health challenges, and preferences of our potential users. Here are some key statistics:
Gender Distribution: 52.9% male, 47.1% female, 0% non-binary
Age Distribution: The majority (64.7%) of respondents are aged 35-44, followed by smaller groups in other age brackets.
Marital Status: 52.9% are married, while 35.3% are single.
Place of Residence: 52.9% live in urban areas, 29.4% in rural areas, and 17.6% in suburban areas.
Mental Health History: 58.8% have experienced mental health issues, with stress, anxiety, and depression being the most common.
Therapy Experiences: 58.8% have never been in therapy, highlighting a gap in mental health support.
"Talking to someone always makes me feel better about myself."
This sentiment underscores the importance of human connection in mental health. According to the American Psychological Association, social support significantly enhances mental well-being and can reduce the impact of stress and anxiety. With RIC, we are integrating a matchmaking feature that connects users with similar experiences, fostering meaningful one-on-one connections.
"I often feel anxious at night, and it's hard to find support when I need it most."
This highlights a critical need for accessible support during all hours. Research from the National Institute of Mental Health indicates that anxiety and stress can disrupt sleep patterns, exacerbating mental health issues. RIC's AI chatbot will provide 24/7 support, offering real-time assistance and personalized recommendations whenever users need them.
"Connecting with others who share my experiences is incredibly comforting"
This aligns with findings from Harvard Health Publishing, which state that sharing experiences with others who understand can significantly alleviate feelings of loneliness and depression. RIC will include dynamic community engagement features, enabling users to join support groups and participate in facilitated activities, ensuring they never feel alone in their journey.
Our teams are leveraging the survey data to address some of the most pressing problems in mental health today. Here’s how each team is contributing:
