Mental Milestone

Inspiration

The inspiration behind Mental Milestone is to create a platform that provides individuals with comprehensive support and resources to empower them on their journey towards better mental health.

What it does

-Journaling: Users can write journal entries to express their thoughts and feelings.

-Sentiment Analysis: The application analyzes the sentiment of user entries using AI LLM to understand their emotional state.

-Sentiment-Based Calendar: A React calendar app marks each day as red, green, or blue based on the user's sentiment, providing a visual overview of their emotional trends.

-Alert System: The system sends out emails to the user's near and dear ones if there are three consecutive "red" or negative sentiment days, ensuring timely support.

-Educational Videos: Curated Educational Videos for Informed Self-Improvement and Mental Well-Being.

-Volunteering: Users can engage in volunteering opportunities and activities related to mental health.

-Community Events: The app promotes community engagement by hosting and advertising events focused on mental health awareness and well-being.

How we built it

The frontend is built using React.js and the authentication is done with the ease of Auth0. The user's journal entries are safely stored and secured using Firebase and the sentiment analysis for the same is done making use of the OpenAI LLM.

Challenges we ran into

Making a safe space for individuals in a topic which has a lot of stigma associated with it is always a challenge. Deciding upon the features which would elevate the user experience was a task as well. We faced technical hurdles while implementing the real-time alert based system as well as during the deployment. However with open communication and code collaboration over GitHub we were able to get the project done.
