Kai Koerber, a survivor of the Parkland school shooting in 2018, has developed a smartphone app called Joy: AI Wellness Platform to help people manage their emotions. The app uses artificial intelligence to suggest mindfulness activities based on a user’s emotional state, determined by the sound of their voice. Koerber’s aim is to provide quick and easily accessible practices to those struggling with sadness, grief, or anger. The app offers various activities, such as exercise, effective apology, and reflection. It is available for a monthly subscription fee and is continuously improving as more people use it. While there are many wellness apps on the market, Koerber’s app stands out for its unique approach to emotion recognition. Critics argue that the accuracy of such apps could be a challenge, but the demand for mental health apps remains high. Survivors of traumatic events, like Koerber, often require years to recover, and his app aims to support them throughout their journey.
