MamaMuse

Inspiration

Pregnancy is a rollercoaster of emotions joy, anxiety, excitement, and sometimes loneliness. Many expecting mothers lack continuous mental health support or a safe space to share their feelings. Inspired by conversations with friends, family, and the universal need for empathy, I created MamaMuse: a digital companion and community to nurture every mom-to-be’s mental wellness.

What it does

MamaMuse is an AI-powered platform that:

Offers a supportive diary bot (“MUSE”) for emotional check-ins and empathetic conversations.
Provides a vibrant community space for sharing stories, advice, and encouragement.
Tracks daily moods and visualizes emotional journeys with beautiful charts.
Delivers personalized content based on each user’s pregnancy week.

How we built it

Backend: Built with Flask, using Supabase for secure authentication, real-time data, and scalable storage.
AI Diary Bot: Integrated the Qwen3-0.6B transformer model to power natural, empathetic conversations.
Community: Developed interactive features for posting, commenting, and supporting each other.
Mood Tracking: Implemented daily mood logs and visualizations using Plotly and Pandas.
Frontend: Designed with Jinja2 templates, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a welcoming, responsive experience.
Database: Structured to ensure privacy while enabling rich, personalized features.

Challenges we ran into

AI Empathy: Tuning the AI to respond with genuine warmth and understanding required careful prompt engineering.
Data Privacy: Protecting sensitive health and emotional data was a top priority, influencing every technical decision.
Supabase Integration: Learning to leverage Supabase’s full potential for authentication and relational data took time.
Performance: Managing large AI models and real-time updates while keeping the app responsive was a technical hurdle.
User Experience: Striking the right balance between feature-richness and simplicity was key to making the app inviting.
