Mental Health Companion App

Abstract

In today's world, mental health is a crucial issue, especially since many people are now working from home and socially distancing themselves from loved ones, leading to a decline in mental wellbeing. Therefore, it's important to monitor and address any issues before they become too serious. To make it easier for people to engage with the mental health tracker, a web application was chosen as it's a familiar medium for most people who interact with apps on their smartphones daily. The app's design must be welcoming and user-friendly, taking into consideration that users may be experiencing mental illness and may not want to engage with the app. The primary focus of the project is to create a mental health tracker that assesses the user's mental state in the least intrusive way possible, identifies any potential mental health issues, and recommends appropriate measures to improve their condition. Users answer a series of questions, and based on their responses, the app suggests tasks for them to complete and keeps a record of their mental state for display on a dashboard.
