Inspiration

Most apps focus on physical health, while mental well-being is overlooked. Stress, anxiety, and overthinking affect everyone, but few tools track emotions like we track calories.

“What if there was a safe place to log moods, reflect, and see progress in mental well-being?”

This idea became Mannavastha — a companion for clarity and balance.

What it does

  • Track daily moods and view weekly trends with charts
  • Generate a personalized wellness score and improvement suggestions
  • Use Saarthi, an AI chatbot, for emotional support
  • Access yoga sessions and Spotify playlists for relaxation
  • Share safely in an anonymous community
  • Connect with consultants and doctors for professional help

How we built it

  • Frontend: React.js
  • Backend: Node.js + Express.js
  • Database: MongoDB
  • AI Companion: Conversational AI integration
  • Charts: Chart.js for mood analytics
  • Integrations: Spotify API for music, curated yoga sessions

Challenges we ran into

  • Making mood charts simple yet meaningful
  • Ensuring Saarthi feels empathetic, not robotic
  • Building multiple features within hackathon timelines

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a multi-feature mental health platform in limited time
  • Created Saarthi, an AI chatbot offering supportive interaction
  • Designed mood analytics for emotional awareness
  • Developed a safe anonymous community for sharing thoughts

What we learned

  • The role of UX design in mental health apps
  • How to integrate AI companions into user journeys
  • Techniques for visualizing emotional trends
  • Managing feature scope vs. time effectively during hackathons

What's next for Mannavastha

  • Add gamification (streaks, milestones) to boost engagement
  • Deliver personalized coping strategies using AI insights
  • Integrate with wearables for holistic tracking
  • Introduce guided journaling and meditation features
  • Expand peer-support groups within the community
