ZenCare – Achieving Nirvana in a Distracted World
ZenCare is not just another wellness app. Built for the Devstorm Hackathon hosted by BITS Goa, it’s a thoughtfully designed mental health companion that tackles the chaos of modern life with calm, clarity, and care. From guided meditations to Pomodoro-driven productivity, ZenCare blends ancient wisdom with tech-enabled ease. The project placed in the top 25 teams.

Context

In a world that’s always on, mental well-being often takes a backseat. ZenCare was conceptualized to bring a moment of pause — a digital safe space for users battling stress, burnout, or just struggling to stay focused.

This wasn’t just a feel-good app. It was built with intention, backed by research, and shaped by the real problems users face every day.

Key Features & Design

  1. Audio Therapy & Guided Meditation – Scientifically backed audio content to ease stress and help users unwind.
  2. Reading Therapy & Daily Inspiration – Curated content to uplift moods and build emotional resilience.
  3. Yoga Therapy – Simple routines for the mind-body connection, bringing balance and energy.
  4. Pomodoro Timer – Minimal yet effective, to improve focus and reduce digital fatigue.
  5. Professional Help – Resources and links for users who need real-time, expert consultation.

Each module was designed to be frictionless — clean UI, soothing UX, and optimized for users seeking immediate relief or long-term transformation.

Hackathon Impact

ZenCare emerged during an intense online hackathon sprint. We ideated, built, and deployed within 36 hours and landed in the top 25 teams at Devstorm BITS Goa.

Lessons & Takeaways

  • My first ever Hackathon experience, really learnt a lot from these 36 hours.
  • Empathy-first design wins – Understanding emotional pain points helped us design with intention.
  • Holistic ≠ Complex – Simplicity in experience amplified the impact.
  • Cross-functional approach matters – We blended psychology, tech, and design for real-world utility.

ZenCare is a digital sanctuary — minimal, mindful, and made for those who need a moment to breathe.
