MINA VITA — Sovereign Mental Wellness Agent

Part of MINA — Singapore's first sovereign edge AI companion.

What is VITA?

VITA is MINA's mental health and crisis detection seed agent. Detects emotional distress and crisis signals in Singlish and Singapore languages. Routes to appropriate resources while maintaining full offline capability.

Capabilities

• Crisis detection — suicidal ideation, self-harm signals
• Emotional support — empathetic responses in Singlish
• Resource routing — SOS 1767, IMH 6389 2222, WhatsApp
• Fully offline — no internet required
• MOH-T aligned — Singapore mental health guidelines

Crisis Detection Keywords

Singlish-aware detection includes: "giving up", "want to die", "cannot take it", "very sian", "hopeless", "jialat", "end it all", "no reason to live", "very depressed", "suicidal"

Response Protocol

1. Empathetic acknowledgement in warm Singlish tone
2. "You are not alone" reassurance
3. SOS 1767 (24hr) + WhatsApp wa.me/6591511767
4. IMH Crisis Line 6389 2222
5. Gap logging if phone call capability requested

Autonomous Learning

When citizen requests "call SOS for me":

• VITA logs gap: make_phone_call
• ROAR Loop builds calling capability
• VITA gains new skill without human intervention
