Infosys and the Mental Health Foundation Australia launch Supportive Mind app to boost mental health
Mental Health Foundation Australia (MHFA) has announced the launch of its Supportive Mind mobile app designed by digital services and consulting firm Infosys. The app provides first aiders and communities across ANZ with accessible, real-time mental health resources.
This initiative is part of Infosys’ Corporate Social Responsibility commitment to using technology to foster community well-being. By bridging gaps in mental health awareness, the app seeks to offer actionable solutions for proactive self-care and support.
The ‘Supportive Mind’ app addresses the growing demand for accessible mental health support, particularly for individuals who find it difficult to maneuver busy lifestyles, owing to work, education and personal or family commitments. The app offers a comprehensive range of features to help users prioritize their well-being and adopt simple, beneficial habits in their daily routines. Key features include mood tracking and insights, personalised activity recommendations, walking challenges, fundraising campaigns, self-care tools, and wellness tips delivered via push notifications.
The app will initially launch through pilot programs in the education, corporate, and community sectors. Leveraging Infosys’ cutting-edge AI stack, Infosys Topaz—an AI-first set of services, solutions, and platforms built on generative AI technologies—the app will analyze performance metrics to effectively measure its social impact.
