Inspiration
Mental Health is a real issue. Unfortunately it is not given the care it deserves. 2020 was a rough year, with Corona forcing people to quarantine themselves, the feeling of loneliness and isolation was higher than ever. Sometimes, it's hard to express yourself and we get it.
(It's also possible that your therapist might not be available at that particular time).
In an attempt to solve the above issue, we present to you Lucy.
What it does
Caretakers/therapists can register their patients on our website. Lucy, our voicebot will ask the patients some vital questions about well being and then the responses will then be stored and will be available at our website to the caretakers/therapists for analysis in order to help in providing their patients the therapy they need.

How we built it
Front-end development using html, css and javascript
Back-end development using Firebase
Sentiment Analysis using python and its libraries
Chatbot development using Twilio
Challenges we ran into
We were in a time crunch and that was definitely an issue. Storing the responses was also an issue. We struggled with firebase a lot.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We built a working prototype
What we learnt
We learnt a lot about using Twilio for chatbot development and Firebase for back-end development
What's next for Lucy
Better Sentiment Analysis
Robust backend
Alert system -When a value exceeded the threshold, the app will alert the corresponding healthcare provider
