Inspiration

Now more than ever (with quarantine and stay at home orders), mental health struggles have become apparent. Resources such as therapists and counselors have become distanced from their patients, and finding help can be a struggle. Day-by-day is an app that aims to fix that -- using guidance from the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, we have created an app that can monitor and recognize changes in a person’s behavior indicative of potential illness, and connect them with professional help. With this easy to use app, we hope to promote awareness of mental health disorders and connect those in need with the help they deserve.

What it does

Using the DSM as a guide, the app can track and recognize patterns in a user's behavior that indicate signs of mental illness. If enough evidence is gathered, the user is provided with resources to help them seek professional guidance.

How we built it

Using Android Studio, a PDF of the DSM, SQLite, and a lot of hard work.

Challenges we ran into

Android Studio compatibility, getting our video submitted on time, teleworking.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The app features a fully-functioning SQLite Database, web integration, and does what it sets out to do. It was also one of our members (Jonathan's) first-ever hackathon.

What we learned

Android Studio is a fickle one.

What's next for Day by Day

More support for a variety of mental disorders. Including but not limited to social anxiety disorder, bipolar II, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's.
