01

The idea

Support for the person, with awareness of the space around them.

FOSHA is a health-innovation prototype for people who feel anxious or overwhelmed at crowded public events. The concept pairs psychological support with information about the surrounding venue.

The team explored a companion that could help someone check in, follow a calming exercise, find a quieter area and reach help when needed.

02

The approach

The pitch connects three ideas: spatial awareness, psychological support in Arabic and English, and access to emergency assistance.

A proposed green, yellow and red triage flow matches the level of distress with self-help, guided support or escalation. Live crowd data and automatic alerts to the Saudi Red Crescent are part of the proposed system; the materials shown here document the prototype.

03

Inside the prototype

Three screens show the journey from checking in to understanding the venue and following a breathing exercise. Values and crowd conditions shown in these screens are illustrative prototype data.

A starting point for support

The dashboard brings a check-in, crowd information and AI chat into one place, following an onboarding flow that asks for informed consent.

Read the surroundings

A venue map explores how crowd-density information could help people find calmer areas. Color-coded zones are paired with labels and a list of quieter spaces.

One step at a time

The support flow offers a guided breathing timer alongside the proposed grounding exercises and Arabic and English chat support.

The team & hackathon

FOSHA participated in the 6th Health Innovation Hackathon hosted by King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS) in Riyadh, held from 6–9 February 2026. The project reached the finals.

Our team presented FOSHA as a way to bring mental-health support and spatial awareness together at large-scale events. The work shown here captures that concept and its early interface exploration.
