About
UpBeing

UpBeing was founded to improve wellbeing across individuals, communities, and society by empowering the systems and technology we interact with to understand our emotions.

Who we are

Think of UpBeing as your trusted wellbeing companion. It’s here whenever and wherever you are along your own wellbeing journey to help you truly flourish.

What we do

UpBeing helps you learn, understand, and improve your wellbeing every day through tools founded on scientific research and co-created with mental health consultants.

Why we do it

The goals of modern technology are not aligned with our goals as humans. UpBeing empowers you to make life choices that benefit your human experience.

UpBeing was built on
‍knowledge & passion

A machine learning & human factors engineer and a SaaS technology & community leader realized that modern technology isn't aligned with our goals as humans. We're more connected than ever, but we still struggle to understand our own wellbeing. So, they decided together to create something that could truly enhance understanding and wellbeing in ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities with the goal of bringing emotional intelligence to the technology we use everyday.

Today, UpBeing is supported by some of the top institutions and advisors across the globe. With ambitious goals to revolutionize the emotion detection & recognition (EDR) industry, UpBeing has created a diverse and talented team who truly cares about enriching the human experience.

MEET THE TEAM

UpBeing is made of people who are united to build a more empathetic future that will infuse more emotion into our increasingly digital world. We hope to change the way people feel, interact, and support each other.
