Saneyar is a comprehensive mental health support platform designed to provide accessible, 24/7 mental health assistance through a combination of AI-powered chatbots, peer support networks, and professional counseling services.
"Making mental health support accessible, immediate, and stigma-free through technology."
- 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year
- 60% of people with mental illness don't receive treatment
- Average wait time for a therapist appointment: 25+ days
- Crisis hotlines often have long wait times during peak hours
Saneyar bridges these gaps by providing:
- Instant AI-powered support available 24/7
- Real-time crisis detection with automatic escalation
- Peer support networks for non-clinical conversations
- Professional counselor matching for clinical needs
- Evidence-based assessments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, GHQ)
- Azure OpenAI Integration with GPT-4 for empathetic, context-aware conversations
- Intent Recognition System that classifies user mental states (anxiety, depression, crisis)
- Therapeutic Response Generation following evidence-based CBT and DBT principles
- Conversation Memory for continuity across sessions
// Real-time crisis detection with confidence scoring
const CRISIS_KEYWORDS = {
'suicide': 0.95, // Immediate danger
'kill myself': 0.95, // High confidence
'want to die': 0.90, // Critical indicator
'hopeless': 0.70, // Medium confidence
// ... 40+ weighted keywords and patterns
};- Multi-layered Analysis: Keyword matching + Pattern recognition + Context analysis
- Severity Classification: Critical → High → Medium → Low
- Automatic Escalation: Crisis triggers immediate counselor notification
- Real-time Socket.io Alerts: Instant notification to available professionals

};- Algorithm Factors: Specialization, availability, current load, language preference
- Priority Queue: Crisis sessions get immediate routing
- Fallback Mechanism: Auto-escalation if no match in 5 minutes
- ✅ JWT Authentication with refresh token rotation
- ✅ Rate Limiting: 100 req/15min general, 5 req/15min for auth
- ✅ Input Sanitization: XSS clean, MongoDB injection prevention
- ✅ Helmet.js: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options headers
- ✅ Password Hashing: bcrypt with salt rounds
// Optimized indexes for query performance
