The New Standard in Emotional Health

In a world where data is integral to understanding our physical health, INTENT fills a crucial gap by focusing on emotional well-being. Founded in Hong Kong, INTENT transforms emotional data and triggers into interactive insight maps. These maps illuminate the complex connections within individuals’ emotional patterns, helping users navigate their emotional landscape with greater understanding and control.

The backbone of INTENT is based on naming and identifying emotions, known as affect labeling, can significantly reduce their intensity and duration. Naming emotions activates the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (RVLPFC), which helps regulate emotional responses by calming the amygdala, the brain’s emotional center.

How INTENT Works
  • Trigger Categories: Easily identify and select what triggers your emotions from categories like activity, people, places, diet, and body.
  • Primary Emotion Selection: Choose your primary emotions and set their intensity levels for accurate tracking.
  • Secondary Emotion Literacy: Explore and understand complex emotions for better emotional literacy and deeper self-awareness.
  • Journal Entry: Document your thoughts with text, audio, and image entries to reflect on your experiences.
  • Visual of Intent Tree: Watch your emotions light up and complete the tree in 7 days to experience the full emotional spectrum.
  • Insights Through Emotion & Trigger Charts: Learn your emotional patterns and visualize your progress.

Vision and Mission

INTENT envisions a world where emotional intelligence is as valued and cultivated as traditional intelligence. Their mission is to make emotional health insights accessible, actionable, and meaningful. Aim to enhance how individuals understand and manage their emotions, addressing challenges such as anxiety, anger issues, and strained relationships by focusing on three key areas: developing emotional literacy, building emotional mastery, and cultivating connected communities.
