Inspiration

We want to help people with mental stress at this difficult time, and provide a space for them to let go of their negative feelings.

What it does

Blackhole is a mental health app that provides the user for them to text their negative thoughts or any unwanted emotions that they are experiencing. Once they are done writing what they feel, they can press the ‘let it go’ button and the text is erased. This provides students with a safe outlet for them to channel their emotions -and be aware of what they are. It also physically allows students to let go of the negativity or bad thoughts they may carry. And, if there is any sensitive message, such as the user showing potential to suicide, it will pop a message suggesting to call emergency contact or professionalist for help.

Challenges we ran into

Time zone, my cat was meowing loud

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The function of the app is to help people, which we are really proud of. Also, the design looks mature.

What we learned

We focused on simple app functions to illustrate solutions for mental health problems. We learned how to connect the original phone function to the app and put animations in the app.

What's next for Blackhole

For the next step, we will focus on working on my accurate danger detection, and send the information of the user to a database or hotline for them to reach out and help the user. And add more features to the app to create a more fully implemented mental health app. We will try to create the university mental health app and implement the Blackhole there.
