ArcaVida
A natural health and wellness platform with an AI chat, remedies library and health journal — web and mobile app.
CONTEXT
The challenge
Knowledge about natural remedies lives scattered and without context. The product needed to turn it into trustworthy, personalized guidance: an AI chat that answers grounded in a curated content base — not whatever the model invents — alongside a browsable library and a health journal.
APPROACH
The solution
A mobile app built with Expo and a web app on Express + tRPC + React sharing the same backend. The health chat uses the OpenAI API over the curated herbs-and-remedies base, the journal tracks user progress, and Stripe handles payments.
WHAT IT DOES

Architecture & stack
