Mental Pal

Inspiration

One of our teammates (Ines) suggested that we build a project that caters to young adult minorities and mental health. This really resonated with us all as a team because we all come from different countries, and we all identified that there is a need for a platform that helps connect individuals to the right therapist for them.

What it does

Mental Pal provides both the professional and individuals with strategically designed questions to help identify if there could be a match. It also used Google Maps API to find nearby therapists.

How we built it

We used adobe XD to prototype it for the sake of time.
