Former Spine Surgeon Launches App to Build Skills for a Happier Life
Dr. Manoj Krishna, a former spine surgeon, has launched HappierMe, an app offering AI-assisted guidance and life skills for mental well-being. The app has been included in the libraries of Mind and Macmillan Cancer Support.
London, October 13, 2026 – Dr. Manoj Krishna, a former UK-based spine surgeon, has transitioned from his medical career to establish HappierMe, a platform focused on preventative well-being and life skills. The relaunched app introduces Olly, an AI-assisted personal guide designed to help users understand the underlying patterns of their feelings, aiming for deeper, lasting change.
HappierMe operates on the principle that happiness is a learnable skill. The platform aims to enhance users' self-awareness and emotional competencies, enabling them to better manage their well-being, navigate life's challenges, and foster stronger relationships. This launch coincides with the World Health Organization's estimate that over a billion people live with a mental health condition, and reports indicating high levels of workplace stress.
The newly redesigned app features Olly, an AI guide that assists users in reflection and directs them to HappierMe's curated content, including videos, podcasts, and meditations. This approach aims to provide a more focused and effective user experience compared to broad internet searches.
Additionally, HappierMe includes "Guided Journeys" offering daily micro-learning and practical exercises to translate insight into lasting change. The app provides separate programs for adults, teenagers, and parents, and is available for corporate, educational, and healthcare organizations.
