What they built

Bhuvika Tripuraneni built MindfulHer, an AI-powered mental health support app for teenagers, after personally experiencing a crisis hotline that failed to help her. The app uses clinician-based data and an empathetic AI assistant to provide accessible mental health support — filling the gap between professional therapy and moments when teenagers feel alone. It is designed not as a replacement for therapists but as a real-time emotional lifeline for youth.

Verified track record

• [PictureURL Finder] Update (2026-04-25): - Profile article (Dallas Innovates) contains no identifiable portrait/headshot in extracted content (only stock image and app screenshot references): - LinkedIn not used as PictureURL source. Result: PictureURL not updated (no stable direct image link found). Manual next step is to source an official headshot from a school/nonprofit/press page that publicly hosts her photo. (source)
