Nerveli

What is Nerveli?

Nerveli is a mobile platform that helps people living with chronic pain and mental health challenges build sustainable wellness habits. At its core is an AI conversational coach, powered by Groq, that delivers personalized guidance around the clock — paired with a 3D interactive body map for precise pain tracking and a science-backed activity system that turns daily check-ins into measurable progress.

Project Challenges

Making Personalized Support Available Anytime, Not Just at Appointments

People managing chronic pain and mental health conditions often need guidance between clinical visits — when a flare-up hits at 2am, or a hard day calls for an immediate coping strategy. Traditional care models can't offer that kind of real-time, personalized support. The challenge was to build an AI coaching experience that felt genuinely helpful and contextual, not generic, while handling sensitive health data with enterprise-grade privacy and security.

Our Solution

An AI-Native Wellness Companion Built Around Real-Time Coaching

Unicode AI built Nerveli as a mobile-first platform with AI woven through the core user journey. The platform integrates:

AI-Powered Chat CoachReal-time, personalized guidance powered by Groq, available as an always-on wellness coach
3D Interactive Body MapVisual pain localization and radiation path tracking that gives the AI coach richer context for each user's condition
Pain & Mood TrackingDaily check-ins and mood logging that feed both the user's dashboard and the AI's understanding of their patterns
Neuroplasticity ActivitiesScience-backed meditation, mindfulness, and guided exercises recommended as part of the journey
Gamification & AchievementsStreaks, badges, and level progression that keep engagement consistent
Doctor ReportsShareable health reports that translate tracked data into something a provider can act on

Three Nerveli app screens side by side: the AI coaching chat, the 3D body map pain tracker, and a shareable health report

With AI coaching as the connective layer across tracking, activities, and progress, Nerveli gives users a wellness companion that's responsive in the moment, not just a logging tool they check in with later.

Step One → Three

Step One

Understanding the Business Needs

We worked with Nerveli's team to identify the core gap: people with chronic pain needed support between appointments, not just during them. The goal was an AI coach that could respond meaningfully to a user's specific pain history and mood patterns, not generic wellness scripts.

Step Two

UX/UI Design

The interface was designed so the AI chat coach feels like a natural extension of the 3D body map and tracking tools, rather than a bolted-on chatbot. A calming visual language — built around the Lexend typeface for accessibility and a therapeutic color palette — keeps the experience approachable even during difficult moments.

Step Three

Full Development

Our team built the Groq-powered chat coach as a Cloud Run service integrated with Firebase, so conversational AI responses could draw on each user's pain tracking and mood history in real time, all wrapped in biometric authentication and session security appropriate for sensitive health data.

Available Across All Platforms

A consistent, AI-powered experience on both major mobile platforms.

Full access to AI coaching, pain tracking, and neuroplasticity activities, secured with biometric authentication.

The same AI-driven wellness experience, built natively with Flutter for full feature parity.

By combining Groq for conversational AI with Firebase for secure real-time data and Flutter for true cross-platform delivery, we built a coaching experience that's available the instant a user needs it — not on the next available appointment.
