Hack Mental Health

Inspiration

Mental Disorders Are the Costliest Condition in the U.S. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), one in five adults in the United States (17.9 percent) experiences some type of mental health disorder. Mental illness not only reduces an individual’s quality of life, but it also links with increased health spending. AI is already transforming different industries, including mental health. Machine learning and advanced AI technologies are enabling a new type of care that focuses on providing individualized emotional support.

Mental Health is vital for a person's well-being. Suicidal rates increase every year. We will be the next generation to work at big companies. Hence, we wanted to understand the main components that influence mental illness in tech.

What it does

Focus on providing some AI technology for mental health analysis. Predicts if an individual sort treatment given work interfere, benefits, tech company, mental health consequences, and physical health consequences.

How we built it

We use python and other packages to built machine learning classifiers and finish all the data analysis part.

Challenges we ran into

Limited by the time and size of the database, we could not build more complex AI model.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Analyzing and realizing the importance of mental illness in tech companies. We used some edge-cutting machine learning methods to analyze the data and the prediction results are amazing.
