In 2023, the World Health Organization declared depression and anxiety a global crisis, with over 970 million people affected. Fast forward to 2025, and that number has exploded. Not because people are suddenly weaker. But because the systems built to hold them—jobs, routines, identities—are vanishing in real-time.
Artificial Intelligence didn’t just disrupt industries. It gutted them.
Goldman Sachs estimates 300 million jobs globally are at risk of being automated. In the U.S. alone, white-collar layoffs in tech, marketing, and finance hit historic highs. Microsoft, Google, Amazon—massive names slicing through their workforce like a scythe through tall grass. In January 2025, over 75,000 tech workers were laid off in a single quarter. That’s not attrition. That’s eradication.
And here’s the truth no one wants to admit: mental health systems weren’t built to catch this kind of fall.
The CDC reports a 30% increase in suicide-related ER visits in adults aged 25–49. Crisis hotlines are overwhelmed. Therapy waitlists are months long. And most mental health apps? They’re dopamine traps. Flashy UIs with meditation gifs and cutesy journaling prompts that do nothing when you’re spiraling at 3AM.
Meanwhile, AI gets smarter. Faster. Cheaper. It’s analyzing your tone, rewriting your resume, composing your emails. But it’s not hearing you. It’s not catching what your voice sounds like when you’re losing hope. It doesn’t care that your internal monologue has turned into a loop of panic, doubt, and rage.
That’s where NOVi steps in.
NOVi is not a wellness gadget. It’s a wearable emotional signal system—a black, minimalist necklace that listens when no one else does. Every time you speak, mutter, rant, or whisper, NOVi captures the tone, rhythm, cadence, and micro-signals in your voice. Not to monitor. To warn. It’s trained to detect shifts—grief, burnout, stress—before the breakdown hits.
While everyone else is building productivity tools, NOVi is building a survival system.
This isn’t speculation. It’s happening now. We’ve pre-sold 100+ units at $99 with zero paid ads, and our early adopters include therapists, first responders, veterans, educators, and parents. The people on the frontlines. The ones who can’t afford to fall apart.
This is not about self-improvement. This is about emotional defense in a world that’s falling into chaos.
NOVi doesn’t just track your steps. It tracks your spirit.
And as AI continues to erase what made people feel human—jobs, roles, purpose—we’re planting a flag and saying: You still matter. Your voice still counts.
Mental health isn’t a footnote to the AI revolution. It’s the casualty.
And NOVi is the resistance.
