SOMALENS INTRODUCES AI POWERED GAMIFIED HEALTH EXPERIENCE TO HELP USERS BUILD BETTER EVERYDAY WELLNESS HABITS


Somalens, a digital health and wellness application, has launched a major product update designed to make everyday health management simpler, more engaging and easier to sustain.

The new experience combines daily health check-ins, personalized symptom insights and gamification features that encourage users to take small, consistent steps towards understanding and managing their wellbeing. Through health missions, streaks, levels and SOMA Coins, users can monitor their progress and receive recognition for completing positive health-related activities.

For many people, looking after their health can feel overwhelming. Healthy intentions are often disrupted by busy schedules, forgotten routines or the difficulty of staying motivated when progress is not immediately visible. Somalens is responding to this challenge by turning everyday wellness activities into a guided and rewarding experience.

At the centre of the update is a redesigned home experience that brings important wellness information and actions into one clear view. Users can complete daily check-ins covering areas such as mood, energy, pain and sleep, review personalised insights based on the information they record, and see the actions they can take next.

The update also introduces gamified health missions. These missions are designed to help users build consistency through manageable activities rather than drastic lifestyle changes. As users complete eligible activities, they can maintain health streaks, progress through levels and earn SOMA Coins. The coins and rewards experience gives users an additional sense of progress while encouraging continued participation in their wellness journey.

Joy Bachashe Samuel, Co-founder and Lead UX Designer at Somalens, said the update was shaped by a desire to make digital health tools feel more human, motivating and relevant to everyday life.

“Most people already know that their health deserves attention, but knowing what to do is not always enough to create a lasting habit. We wanted to design an experience that makes small health actions feel achievable and worth returning to. With the new Somalens update, users can check in with themselves, understand their patterns and see their consistency grow over time,” Samuel said.

“Gamification is not about making light of health. It is about using thoughtful design to help people remain engaged with positive routines. Every mission completed, streak maintained and insight reviewed can become a reminder that small actions matter.”

The redesigned experience reflects Somalens’ broader approach to digital wellness: giving people accessible tools that support greater awareness of their everyday health. Rather than waiting until something feels seriously wrong, users are encouraged to pay closer attention to changes in how they feel and to build a more consistent relationship with their wellbeing.

Somalens does not replace a doctor or provide a medical diagnosis. Its features are intended to support health awareness and everyday wellness management. Users should consult a qualified healthcare professional when they have symptoms, concerns or need medical advice.

The latest update is now available to everyone on IOS and Android. Existing users will be able to update the application through their app store, while new users can download Somalens and begin exploring the redesigned experience. With this launch, Somalens is taking another step towards making preventive, everyday health engagement more accessible, relatable and rewarding for users in Nigeria, Africa and beyond.

Planning an event in Nigeria still means navigating fragmented vendor networks, uncertain pricing, and the risk that your hired photographer won't show up or your caterer will deliver subpar work. The friction is real. Without a centralized platform, event planners whether couples planning weddings, families organizing naming ceremonies, or diaspora Nigerians coordinating from abroad rely on referrals, social media profiles, and hope. Vendors operating independently on Instagram and WhatsApp have no way to systematically reach customers or maintain booking accountability. The Celevend Solution Celevend addresses this directly. The mobile marketplace connects customers actively plann...

What Mintslate Media’s Job Seekers Teaches Us About Politeness, Power, And Survival At Work

Politeness is often praised as professionalism. But in many workplaces, it is also a form of control. Mintslate Media’s upcoming psychological horror film Job Seekers examines how politeness operates as an unspoken rule within professional systems, especially when power is uneven and opportunity is scarce. Rather than presenting the workplace as neutral, the film reveals how survival can depend on silence, compliance, and emotional restraint. Founded in February 2025 by filmmaker Seyi Oluwatimilehin, Mintslate Media was created to tell stories rooted in lived experience. Job Seekers, directed by Seyi Oluwatimilehin and Alan Vega, reflects that vision by centering its story on Maya, a young immigrant attending a job interview that could determine her right to stay. “One of the reasons I founded Mintslate Media was to tell stories that are real, stories that are relatable, honest, and true to our time and existence,” Seyi Oluwatimilehin says. “Every one of these films carries a piece of ...
