Welcome to Eileen Health

by The Eileen Team

We’re excited to share Eileen with the world.

Eileen started as an idea within the AI for Social Change initiative — a belief that technology could do more to support people with their mental health. Not with complex clinical tools, but with simple, compassionate features that fit naturally into daily life.

What we’re building

Eileen is a mobile app that helps you:

  • Remember what matters — appointments, medication, self-care routines
  • Stay connected — share your care needs with people you trust
  • Feel supported — gentle, trauma-informed interactions that never overwhelm

Why trauma-informed?

Many digital health tools are designed without considering the experiences of people who’ve faced trauma. They can feel clinical, demanding, or triggering. We’re building Eileen differently.

Every colour choice, every notification, every interaction is designed with safety, trust, and empowerment in mind. We want using Eileen to feel like having a supportive friend — not another obligation.

Where we are now

Eileen is currently in development, with the core app nearing its MVP milestone. We’re building with Django and React Native, ensuring a solid foundation that can grow with our users’ needs.

How you can help

We’re a community-driven project, and we need your support:

  • Donate to our crowdfunder — every contribution helps fund development
  • Volunteer — whether you code, design, write, or test, there’s a place for you
  • Spread the word — share Eileen with someone who might benefit

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can make mental health support more accessible, more compassionate, and more human.
