Inspiration

Humans go through swings of emotions on a daily basis; we tend to overlook the importance of our mental health. We’ve lost ~14 in every 100000 people from suicide in 2021. Sometimes it’s too late before people realize that they’re not okay. It’s difficult to navigate through them alone. Attaining mental peace while struggling with thoughts and emotions can seriously detriment an individual’s lifestyle.

What it does

Our cross-platform mobile app provides mental health supports like an interactive virtual chat, dad jokes, music recs and an open textbox to share your thought, based on your current mood. We are able to run a facial mood detection ML model that helps us have a broader idea of what you are going through or alternatively, you can manually share your current mood.

How we built it

We used a pre-trained CV model that we implemented into a cross-platform (react-native) app, and were able to get access to a couple APIs such as a dad jokes one

Challenges we ran into

We have had a hard time fitting the CV model to our react native app since they were not compatible. And getting access the camera using react native can be a pain too.
