Ukrainian veteran Bohdan Tiutenko and a team of volunteer software engineers have launched the mental health support platform Ansiedad Ukraina, according to DEV.UA dev.uaDEV.UAdev.uaOpen source ↗. The service operates in desktop and mobile browsers, while dedicated applications for Android and iOS remain in development. The project aims to provide users with psychological screening instruments and direct pathways to professional consultations.

Development of the system began with volunteer specialists who built tools to assess and track mental health metrics. Initial screening starts with four questions evaluating anxiety levels and mood patterns. Users can then proceed to comprehensive questionnaires regarding sleep patterns, alcohol consumption, smoking habits, and smartphone usage metrics dev.uaDEV.UAdev.uaOpen source ↗.

Behavioral algorithms and screening

To bridge assessment with practical management, the platform deploys structured behavioral plans based on conditional logic dev.uaDEV.UAdev.uaOpen source ↗. For instance, individuals attempting to stop smoking can utilize protocols specifying alternative behaviors, such as drinking water and practicing breathing exercises for two minutes whenever an urge arises. For insomnia, a sleep efficiency calculator evaluates time spent in bed versus total sleep duration, generating tailored recommendations alongside audio tools such as rain sounds, ocean waves, or white noise paired with an automated shut-off timer dev.uaDEV.UAdev.uaOpen source ↗.

If sleep disturbances persist beyond three months, the system recommends clinical intervention and offers educational modules on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) dev.uaDEV.UAdev.uaOpen source ↗. Users can also schedule consultations via an integrated directory of verified psychologists, retaining granular control over which personal test records are disclosed to the practitioner.

Verification and access tiers

Basic self-testing, outcome tracking, and psychoeducational materials remain free to all users dev.uaDEV.UAdev.uaOpen source ↗. The platform also features an optional Premium tier priced at $5 per month, unlocking an extended analytics dashboard and an interactive 3D relaxation environment.

Verified veterans receive perpetual free Premium access dev.uaDEV.UAdev.uaOpen source ↗. A solidarity program also grants six months of free access to individuals with unstable incomes, displaced persons, and students upon manual review of submitted documentation within 48 hours, after which all submitted verification files are deleted.
