Inspiration
Since people can suffer from these disorders at the same time, or one can cause symptoms that seem like the other and emotional and mental health is important because it’s a vital part of your life and impacts your thoughts, behaviors and emotions. Being healthy emotionally can promote productivity and effectiveness in activities like work, school or caregiving.
What it does
It consists of 9 questions designed to help you determine if you might be experiencing depression. The questions relate to life experiences common among people who have depression. It indicates how often you have experienced the same or similar challenges in the past few weeks. On the basis of responses given by the user and let them know in which category they fall in so that they can get an approximate idea if they should consult a therapist or not.
How we built it
First, we decided the algorithm we are going to use for determining the result, for that we used generic weighted sum of the responses and then gave the score on the basis of it. Then we moved on the the login page of our site for that we used React Js and some libraries like material UI. After the login page we moved on to our own main home page for building that also we used React Js. for our backend we used Firebase technology. Google Firebase is a Google-backed application development software that enables developers to develop iOS, Android and Web apps. Firebase provides tools for tracking analytics, reporting and fixing app crashes, creating marketing and product experiment.
Challenges we ran into
The first challenge we faced was to select technology we have to use in order to make it smooth. Second challenge was due to some issues our team was short and we were only 3 people in the team competing with all other teams with 5 members. Also, we have to decide the basis on which we have determine the result on the basis of responses.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We successfully completed the project in the given time with fewer members in our team also it will be very beneficial for the users to track their mental health and work efficiently.
What we learned
The first thing we learnt is to manage time also keeping in mind not at the cost of our health. The second thing was how to work under pressure with a smaller number of members under pressure. Also, how the apps are built or how work is done in actual industries.
What's next for Better Check
For the future of this app, we are planning to connect with qualified therapists and doctors. After that we will train an AI model to help find the therapists best suited for the user.
