Aimed to be at the cusp of the mobile health and wellness market which is predicted to be worth $26bn in 2017, Soulight is a music mobile app, available to anyone with a smartphone, with a very serious purpose - to boost emotional wellbeing, prevent anxiety and stress, and alleviate depression through personalised music therapy that establishes positive emotions. Soulight creates personalised playlists to chart the user's mood, imagine where they want to go and help steer and chronicle their progress towards more positive health and share their feelings online with friends. While Soulight is not pitched as an alternative to professional clinical help, it represents a novel, fluid form of support you can access on the move. User-friendly emoticons mean there's no need for 'complex medical vocabulary and burdensome concepts,' and it encourages empowerment and self-awareness and resilience, instead of drug dependency.
