Transforming Insights into Innovation: The Birth of RIC

At Astric, we believe in the power of innovation, data, and human connection to transform lives.

We are thrilled to introduce our latest initiative, RIC – a concept designed to revolutionize mental health and wellness through personalized support, community engagement, and advanced analytics.


Over the past few months, our Product Innovation, Strategic Analytics, and Creative Engagement teams have been working tirelessly to develop RIC. As part of this process, we recently conducted an extensive survey to gather insights from individuals across the United States.


The response was overwhelming, reaching over 10,000 people and providing invaluable insight.

Our survey revealed critical insights into the demographics, mental health challenges, and preferences of our potential users. Here are some key statistics:

  • Gender Distribution: 52.9% male, 47.1% female, 0% non-binary

  • Age Distribution: The majority (64.7%) of respondents are aged 35-44, followed by smaller groups in other age brackets.

  • Marital Status: 52.9% are married, while 35.3% are single.

  • Place of Residence: 52.9% live in urban areas, 29.4% in rural areas, and 17.6% in suburban areas.

  • Mental Health History: 58.8% have experienced mental health issues, with stress, anxiety, and depression being the most common.

  • Therapy Experiences: 58.8% have never been in therapy, highlighting a gap in mental health support.


"Talking to someone always makes me feel better about myself."

This sentiment underscores the importance of human connection in mental health. According to the American Psychological Association, social support significantly enhances mental well-being and can reduce the impact of stress and anxiety. With RIC, we are integrating a matchmaking feature that connects users with similar experiences, fostering meaningful one-on-one connections.


"I often feel anxious at night, and it's hard to find support when I need it most."

This highlights a critical need for accessible support during all hours. Research from the National Institute of Mental Health indicates that anxiety and stress can disrupt sleep patterns, exacerbating mental health issues. RIC's AI chatbot will provide 24/7 support, offering real-time assistance and personalized recommendations whenever users need them.


"Connecting with others who share my experiences is incredibly comforting"

This aligns with findings from Harvard Health Publishing, which state that sharing experiences with others who understand can significantly alleviate feelings of loneliness and depression. RIC will include dynamic community engagement features, enabling users to join support groups and participate in facilitated activities, ensuring they never feel alone in their journey.


Our teams are leveraging the survey data to address some of the most pressing problems in mental health today. Here’s how each team is contributing:


Product Innovation Team

Our Product Innovation team is focused on integrating features that directly address the needs highlighted by our respondents. This includes:


  • Mood Tracking: Allowing users to log their emotions and track changes over time.

  • Matchmaking: Connecting users with similar experiences or goals for mutual support.

  • Personalized Guidance: Offering tailored recommendations based on user data and preferences.


Strategic Analytics Team

The Strategic Analytics team is at the heart of our data-driven approach. By analyzing the survey responses, they are developing advanced algorithms to enhance user experience:


  • Predictive Mood Analytics: Using biometric data to predict emotional states and suggest proactive interventions.

  • Community Matching Algorithm: Ensuring users are connected with individuals who can provide meaningful support.


Creative Engagement Team

Our Creative Engagement team is dedicated to making RIC an engaging and user-friendly platform. They are responsible for:


  • User Experience Design: Crafting an intuitive onboarding process and user interface.

  • Gamification: Incorporating elements that make it enjoyable for users to interact with the platform and provide regular updates.


The insights from our survey have been invaluable in shaping the future of RIC. As we continue to develop RIC, we remain dedicated to listening to our users and adapting our approach based on their feedback. The journey to better mental health is a collaborative one, and we are excited to have you with us every step of the way.


Stay tuned for more updates on RIC. Together, we can create a platform that truly makes a difference.
