We are facing a silent epidemic. Teen anxiety is up 80%, depression has doubled, and suicide rates have surged. Over half of U.S. adults report feeling lonely, as the average number of close friends has dropped from ten to two.



Technology has connected us like never before, yet we have never felt more alone. This is the paradox of modern life: the more connected we are online, the more isolated we become in real life. The U.S. Surgeon General has declared loneliness an epidemic, while Harvard’s longest-running study shows that strong, intentional relationships are the key to lifelong well-being.



As the founder of Veritasity, I believe digital dependency is not a personal failure, but a design failure. Veritasity helps users reclaim attention, agency, and authentic connection by restoring truth in a world built on distraction.



Our mission is simple: to help you reclaim your truth in a world designed to pull you away from it. We do this through ethical, adaptive AI that detects vulnerable moments and intervenes with timely, human-centered support.



Veritasity’s three-phase framework—Pause, Reflect, Connect—works like this:

Pause: Mindfulness-based prompts interrupt reactivity and surface the truth of your habits.

Reflect: Cognitive tools rebuild agency by challenging distortions and clarifying what is true.

Connect: Relational nudges turn attention into meaningful action and strengthen ties that make life feel real.
 


This is a global crisis and a global market. With 5 billion smartphone users and a wellness app market projected to exceed $26 billion by 2030, Veritasity sits at the intersection of profit and purpose.



Veritasity does not block tech. It restores truth and choice in how we connect. Join us in leading the next generation of digital well-being, before another generation is lost to distraction.
