What it does

Our Key Features:

#### Portal: MentAlly Our emotional, psychological, and social well-being all contribute to our mental health. It has an impact on how we think, feel, and act. It also influences how we deal with stress, interact with people, and make good decisions. There is a stigma associated with mental illness that must be removed, and people must be made aware so that they seek care at the appropriate time. People are less susceptible to ideas that are simply told or shown to them and more receptive to concepts that are presented interactively.

This portal is an interactive platform committed to raising awareness about mental health concerns and managing mental health while working together to create a safe community.

Interactive activity: Games

  • ☄️ Jeopardy Game

    This game is an imitation of the game of the same name. It is a game that tests your knowledge about DID, Social anxiety and depression. This will help the user to learn more about these mental illnesses.

  • ☄️ Anatomy Game:

    This is a simple informative click-and-reveal game that shows which part of your anatomy is affected and in what way in the given illness. This will help understand the illness better and help someone or themselves while they are facing that illness.

Portal Signs

This portal focuses on ASL and its awareness

  • ☄️Interactive activity: Games

    There are two games in this portal both of which test you on your ASL vocabulary. One of the games helps you remember by testing what sign means what word while the other one asks what word corresponds to what given signs.

  • ☄️Signs Dictionary:

    A place having the ASL signs and their meaning so that one can browse through those and learn in their own way and their own time. They can look up words when they want to.

  • ☄️Forum:

    Using forums usually entails mustering the confidence to tell your tale. People with sensitive stories or who are socially anxious frequently avoid employing this kind of catharsis. Here they can either be public or anonymously share their views on some specific topic or create some new threads and share their heart out! It's an open space to discuss things freely. Users can create threads and continue their discussion either openly or anonymously.

  • ☄️Courses

    How we built it

    We built it using Angular and Firebase.

Challenges we ran into

Implementing all the features in the given time constraint was one of the major challenges for us! Managing our time, the right way helped us a lot in successfully building the product. We faced a few issues while implementing the review part. It was an amazing learning experience for us overall!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of overcoming our challenges and building the application.

What we learned

We learned a lot about ASL and disabled persons while developing an app to raise awareness about it. We had a lot of features planned at first, but we realized they weren't viable and didn't fit the narrative. We learned how to write a narrative for our project. During the hackathon, we also experimented with a few recent technologies too!

What's next for AIKYAM

We successfully used lobe for image recognition and translating the images (ASL language) into English text. We look forward to intenerate it with our application in future and provide asl to English translator on our application. Many other amazing features also to be added!

So let's AIKYAM!
