Mental Health Care

Shaping postpartum care's future with psychological prevention through the synergy of research, and technology.

About us

We are a collaborative initiative between a startup and researchers from the Institute of Human Studies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Our goal is to bridge the gap between the healthcare system, specialists, and mothers during the postpartum period. We are developing a virtual assistant that combines evidence-based resources with AI technology to provide support in mental health, parenting, and well-being. This virtual assistant simulates conversations with specialists, offering trusted information, validation, coping strategies, and early screening to determine when and what type of specialized help is needed. Often, mothers do not seek help until their problems become difficult to manage; our solution ensures timely intervention through psychological education. We aim to expand this to comprehensive support, including health prevention at key stages of women's health such as fertility, pregnancy, and menopause, as well as other health topics, making women's psychological and physiological health more accessible.

    Pitch2Pitch feels close to me. Its my third time on this stage but this time it felt more special - it was in Bulgarian, and I could feel Momfident's message come across more powerfully. The format really pushes your boundaries to present your project in just one minute—an elevator pitch—which is such a good exercise, not only for business but for life as well: to clearly communicate your vision and goal on a very high level. Special thanks to the whole jury and particularly Emil Shekerdzhiiski whose closing notes I always find very motivational. This time, they were about not making excuses but simply moving forward and doing what you can, to Viktor Manev whose opinion I highly value and whose advice has helped me with both my startups now, to Ivaylo Ivanov for also being always friendly and supportive and to Yavor Alexandrov for doing some quick intros and helpful references. On top I enjoyed the good jokes of Atanas Neychev and the very professional and yet entertaining Elena Peneva Bright Mojo with the great initiative of mini series founders/investors/startup enthusiasts insights Thanks to also Ventsislav Nenkov #omai.tv for selecting me for a special video production about the life of an entrepreneur. And last but not least to my great teammates Stoyanka Cherkezova/Mateva and Ivaylo Dimitrov for going through tough and joyful moments such as this one together and being committed to our mission to make psychological prevention accessible to all mothers and their families. #Pitch2Pitch #Entrepreneurship #Momfident #Maternalmentalhealth #Mentalhealth

  • Вдъхновено от личната история на един от нашите съоснователи, Zhenya Dimitrova, Momfident прерасна в социално значим проект. Привличайки множество подкрепа от съмишленици и програми, сформирахме екип от социални учени, психолози, и софтуерни инжинери, който работи неуморно за създаването на решение, което улеснява достъпа до психологическа помощ на новите майки Нашата мисия е да нормализираме нуждата от психологическа подкрепа на жените и техните семейства при появата на децата. Това е най-големият дар в живота ни, но заедно с него идват промени, предизвикателства и натиск от социални норми. За съжаление, за голям процент от жените това може да доведе до следродилна депресия. Статистиката сочи, че 1 от 7 жени минава през следродилна депресия, а 50% от тях остават недиагностицирани. Здравната система не обръща достатъчно внимание на психичното състояние на майките. Достъпът до специализирана помощ не винаги е лесен, а често жените търсят помощ едва когато проблемът е вече сериозен и е трудно да се помогне. Трагичният скорошен инцидент със самоубилата се млада майка на две дечица привлече внимание към този проблем, но той съществува отдавна и засяга не само жените в ролята им на майки, но и цялото семейство. Мисията ни с Momfident е да разбием тази стигма и да създадем превенция чрез предоставяне на своевременна, научно базирана информация под формата на разговор—валидирайки емоциите, предлагайки стратегии за справяне, практични съвети и успешни примери от други жени, както и ранен скрининг, идентифициращ нуждата от разговор със специалист. Защо Momfident? Защото искаме да помогнем на всяка майка да премине с увереност в ролята си на майка, да се погрижи за себе си и да се наслади на най-хубавите и стоплящи сърцето усмивки в този период. Присъединете се към нас като се регистрирате тук и следете нашия прогрес: https://lnkd.in/dA3qFJQc. Включете се и в нашето анкетно проучване, с което целим да съберем извадка за състоянието на българските майки, техните предизвикателства и нужни източници за самопомощ: https://shorturl.at/wkiwW

    ♀ Често се сблъскваме със стигмата за психичното здраве на майките след раждане и очакванията, че това трябва да е най-щастливият период в живота им. За някои жени обаче той се оказва огромно предизвикателство, а бурята от емоции ги завлича в „следродилна депресия“. 💡 За да променят нагласите за психичното здраве на жените след раждане и да им помогнат, доц. Stoyanka Cherkezova/Mateva от Института за изследвания на населението и човека към БАН и Zhenya Dimitrova създават Momfident – виртуален психологически асистент. 👉 Повече за техния проект четете в #economicBG

  • We are happy to share that we have been selected as finalists as part of Start Up, Bulgaria, which gathered more than 300 entrepreneurs, business leaders, and investors over a 3-day conference. It's been an incredibly dynamic period for us—speaking to partners, clients, and presenting Momfident at three public events in a row. Seeing so many people and organizations eager to support us and believe in the social impact we can deliver—not just for mothers' well-being but for families as a whole—is incredibly rewarding. Thanks to the great organizers Oggy V., Vilislav Slavev - Ask me about the "Start Up Bulgaria" event 🚀, and Boryana Petrova, and to the team of DEA - Dare. Empower. Accelerate., Mila Stoyanova, Christo Peev, and our mentor Iva Palma for all the support in our preparation. Special thanks to Krasimir Kehayov for selecting us as one of the finalists and offering dedicated mentorship. The closing speech by Dimitar Berbatov was quite motivational. He shared how simple advice—to not overthink the ball and just score it—helped him. As in football, in business, and in life, we meet people who help us score and move forward in our journey. We at Momfident are on our mission and journey to make maternal psychologogical care accessible to all. #Momfident #Entrepreneurship #Startup #Socialimpact #Mentalhealth #Mentorship
