I'm making a career change from marketing/communications into tech. That's a huge leap. So I surveyed the tech space from the outside before ever starting a coding course. I noticed a few tech companies were trying to solve real world issues. That really resonated with me! I want to build a list of projects/companies doing this and hopefully find mentorship in that space.
Some examples that got my attention were:
Bearable - Mood and symptom tracking
Flo - Menstrual and fertility health
BetterHelp - Online therapy
Headspace - Mindful meditation
Finch - Gamified mental health and self care
If you know any projects/companies like this focused on solving real issues like eco-sustainability, agriculture, health/wellness, mental health, women's issues etc. share them below!

Thanks for the post, Monique! I think my friend used ReGain, this is a website that provides similar services to BetterHelp. Btw, I also used Finch, my gf likes this self care application. I know that this botox lip flip clinic wanted to make their own app, it also relates to health industry, so if you are interested you can contact them. Good luck :)
Thanks! Haven't heard of ReGain but I should check that out. Finch is so good :)
I recently discovered a "responsible tech" community which is something I didn't know about! They're called All Tech Is Human. I just joined but the Slack channel has a mix of students and really people. Most people seem to be focused on AI and ethics.
With Dubai's sunny climate and environmental stressors, many individuals experience skin issues like premature aging, dryness, and sun damage. NAD+ promotes cellular repair and rejuvenation, potentially leading to improved skin tone and texture here. This makes it an appealing option for those seeking not just health benefits but also aesthetic improvements.
