1. Mood Mapping Interface

• Dynamic AI avatar responds gently: “It’s okay to feel that way. Let’s explore together.”

2. Emotional Processing Toolkit

• Soothing AI message: “You’re not alone. I’m right here.”

• Emergency meditation protocol begins

• Option to auto-alert school counselor or crisis team (configurable per location)

4. Hope & Coping Pathways

• “Try This” options:

• Share anonymously to cloud board (“Someone else felt this too”)

• Receive affirmations

• Digital hug sequence

• Watch a real story: “I got through anxiety and so can you.”

5. Secure, Optional Human Connection

• School therapist or counselor

• Parent or trusted adult

• Peer mentor network

• All logins optional, all data confidential

• Suicide/self-harm protection protocols follow global best practices

Use Case or Experience Flow

Scenario A – School Library at 2:15 PM:

A 15-year-old boy enters the pod after an argument in class. He doesn’t want to talk to anyone. He selects “angry + lost” on the mood map. The pod dims. A soft light pulses to guide breathing. After 6 minutes, his mind calms. He listens to a 3-min story about a kid who failed a test and still bounced back. He leaves ready to finish the day.

Scenario B – Teen Girl at Mall Feeling Panic:

She hides in the pod, selects “panic mode.” The pod darkens, starts vagus breathing + affirmations: “You are not your panic. Breathe through it.” She presses the “Friend Connect” option to text her mom: “I’m okay now, I just needed a moment.”
