About iKan

What is iKan and how does it support mental health?

iKan is a mental health progressive web app (PWA) that provides access to professional consultants, self-guided programs, mood journaling, and clinically validated assessments — all in one place. Our goal is to make mental wellness accessible, private, and stigma-free.

How is iKan different from other mental health apps?

iKan combines self-paced CBT-based programs, professional consultations, mood journaling, and a resource library into a single platform. We follow "Calm Tech" design principles.
