Inspiration

When we are feeling low, sometimes we want someone that stays and makes us feel better, but not always we will dispose of this person. Ourselves are the only ones that always will be there.

What it does

We have created an app that acts as a companion for anyone that is going through a rough time. The main idea of the app is to provide a safe space where the user can translate his/her thoughts into videos/images/audios/text, creating a sort of emotional and memories diary.

We first ask the user for a picture and perform sentiment analysis to roughly determine their emotional status. Given the emotional status, we decide if the user is happy enough to save thoughts/memories for future times or sad enough to receive good memories or past thoughts. We also allow the user to choose if he/she is feeling in a different mood than predicted and would like to perform a different action. With the texts the user fills, we perform sentiment analysis on those texts through deep learning to get historical data of the user’s moods. This latter data could be forwarded to a psychologist if the case were extreme

The ultimate goal of the app is to, in the end, make the user smile (through reliving a good memory, seeing something funny, getting reassured by their own written thoughts in the past, etc).

How we built it

We used Streamlit in order to develop the app and involve all the models used: a facial recognitions sentiment classification and a text sentiment multi-class detector

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We feel that we have created a tool that, at least, can give the user a smile. We thought that a first goal as simple as that could already be meaningful for a user being in a bad state. On top of that, we have created a safe state where thoughts, memories and content can be saved and remembered.
