BraveHeart AI: Transforming Mental Health Access in Nigeria
BraveHeart AI, available via the SIMBIHealth App, is addressing Nigeria’s mental health crisis by providing 24/7 multilingual AI chatbot support, mental health screenings, peer matching, and a facility locator.
With over 1,000+ downloads and 3,187 screenings, the SIMBIHealth App is expanding access to underserved communities, bridging critical care gaps with culturally-aware, stigma-free mental health solutions.
The Problem
In Nigeria, 40 to 60 million people face mental health disorders, with only 289 psychiatrists available (Association of Psychiatrists in Nigeria, 2023).
Stigma, discrimination, and limited access worsen the crisis. BraveHeart AI provides scalable, stigma-free, and culturally sensitive AI-driven support, bridging care gaps and reaching underserved communities.
