Trosthelden: An algorithm that brings grieving people together

Background

Those who grieve need someone who has been through something similar. Bringing exactly these people together is a sensitive task that goes far beyond a simple search. It takes a well-thought-out algorithm and a platform that enables closeness and trust.

What we did

We built the website and programmed the matching algorithm that brings grieving people together into fitting grief friendships based on their situation. An onboarding questionnaire captures the relevant characteristics, and the community environment then puts people in touch.
