🌿 About SakinaAI

Built for Mental Health Professionals in the Arab World

SakinaAI is a clinical support platform designed for mental health professionals and the people they care for. It brings together AI-assisted documentation, structured assessments, progress tracking, and between-session support within one culturally responsive platform. The clinician remains at the centre of care, while SakinaAI helps reduce administrative burden and improve visibility across the patient journey.

The name SakinaAI draws from the Arabic word "سكينة" (Sakina), which means tranquility and peace of mind — a state of inner calm and serenity that resonates deeply across Arab culture. This is the promise we make to every person who uses our platform.

SakinaAI — About
Direction

Vision & Mission

Two pillars guiding everything we build at SakinaAI.

Our Vision

To be the leading mental health platform in the Arab world — a trusted space where every person can access compassionate, culturally aligned support rooted in Arab cultural values, no matter where they are or what they are going through.

Our Mission

To break down the barriers of stigma, access, and cultural misalignment that prevent people from seeking mental health support — by building an AI-powered platform that feels as familiar as talking to someone who truly understands you.

Regional Focus

Built in Qatar. Designed for the Region.

Mental healthcare is shaped by more than language — and SakinaAI is being built in Qatar with that in mind, from day one.

Arabic & English

Designed to support mental health workflows across both languages.

Culturally Grounded

Regional cultural context informs the way SakinaAI is being developed.

Clinician-Informed

Built with input from mental health professionals and academic expertise.

Qatar-First Development

Developed locally with broader relevance across the Arab world.

What We Stand For

What Guides Us

Five principles that guide every decision we make at SakinaAI.

Clinician-Led

Technology should support professional judgement, not replace it.

Culturally Grounded

SakinaAI is designed around Arab cultural context rather than translated into the region after development.

Evidence-Oriented

Product development is informed by psychological research, clinical practice, and ongoing evaluation.

Responsible by Design

Privacy, safety, transparency, and human oversight are considered throughout the development of SakinaAI.

Arabic & English by Design

Language support is being incorporated into clinical workflows and patient experiences from the beginning.
