Your nervous system deserves better.
An AI-powered mental health companion app for panic attacks and anxiety — built on Escalation Design, an Emotional Color System, and live AI integration. Solo graduation project, completed ahead of schedule.

6.3 million people in Germany live with anxiety disorders — yet in an acute panic moment there's no immediately available, scientifically grounded tool that helps without overwhelming. Apps like Calm and Headspace are built for daily meditation, not crisis — too many options, not enough clinical credibility. The gap: no app combines evidence-based methods (CBT, DBT) with warm, non-clinical design that adapts to the moment. Enôra fills it.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all interface, Enôra adapts to how the user feels — not the other way around. Three distinct paths, each with its own tone, colour system, and strategy.
Every decision in Enôra has a reason. The process moved deliberately from problem definition through to a clickable, AI-powered prototype.
Analysed the German mental health app market and clinical studies on CBT, DBT and breathing regulation — surfacing a clear gap in accessible, escalation-aware UX.
The three-tier Escalation Model, with a user flow that branches deliberately — AI Chat only after breathing, never before.
A complete Figma design system: DM Sans typeface, 6 emotional Orb states with scientifically grounded colours, Glassmorphism cards, button library, icon set — all WCAG AAA tested.
From sketch wireframes to fully designed Hi-Fi screens — 10+ screens spanning Onboarding, SOS Flow, Grounding, Night Mode and User Account.
A live AI demo on the Anthropic Claude API — all three modes playable, personality defined entirely by the system prompt. No data storage, DSGVO-compliant.
Rough sketches first, to map core logic without visual distraction — every screen had to earn its place in the escalation model before going high fidelity.
The Emotional Color System is not an aesthetic concept — it is a functional design decision rooted in clinical science. Blue lowers cortisol. Green signals recovery. Dark indigo is melatonin-compatible for night use.
The SOS flow was the hardest design challenge: in acute panic, cognition is severely limited. One tap triggers Box Breathing, the orb pulses blue — and AI Chat activates only after physical stabilisation, never before.
Enôra isn't a generic AI — she has a defined personality: calm, present, warm, without seeming performative. Her tone is informed by CBT principles but never therapeutically overreaching, with no diagnoses and no medical recommendations. Built on the Anthropic Claude API, her character fully defined by the system prompt — no data storage, DSGVO-compliant.
"I didn't choose this project because it was a safe topic — I chose it because I've seen how helpless people feel in moments of anxiety, and how little existing digital tools meet that moment. Enôra is my attempt to change that: precise, evidence-based, and deeply respectful of the nervous system it's designed for."
