Inspiration

We wanted to make the community a better place regarding mental health. As fourth-year students at Le Moyne College, since stepping foot on campus we have lost 5 members of our community to mental health battles. When we heard about the category for a mental health hack we knew this was our opportunity to create a resource that could help those struggling, but educate others about mental health as well. Students face many changes, struggles, and challenges in their personal and academic lives during college. This can make colleges and universities our target audience as students are very susceptible to mental health struggles. We also know that colleges anywhere, especially in larger college towns become one with the community. Despite college students being our inspiration, we also want to impact the surrounding community.

What it does

WellU is an application that users can log their daily moods, water intake, and sleep patterns all in one place. Recommendations are also given based on results of the daily logs. Other resources such as coping strategies, meditation videos, awareness trainings, and more are available to users.

How we built it

Using the program "JotForm" we were able to build a functioning application. Typeform was also used to build our daily mood tracker.

Challenges we ran into

The only challenge we experienced was not being able to directly publish and connect our tracker to our app. This requires an expensive monthly subscription that we can't afford as college students :)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we were able to to something for the community in regards to mental health. We are also very proud of the functionality and appeal of our app.

What we learned

We learned how to formally and properly word our daily tracker questions with the help of students studying psychology. Some members also learned about resources they have never heard of before this project.
