Inspiration

  • Many people struggle to understand how daily habits like sleep, stress, exercise, and screen time affect mental health. We wanted a simple, accessible tool to make this clear.

What it does

  • Calculates a mental health risk score based on lifestyle inputs and gives personalized suggestions for improvement.

How we built it

  • HTML/CSS/JS for a responsive web interface
  • Range sliders to collect user data
  • Dynamic suggestions based on thresholds

Challenges we ran into

  • Balancing simplicity vs accuracy in the scoring formula
  • Making the UI clear and responsive on mobile devices
  • Writing meaningful suggestions for different user inputs

What we learned

  • How to translate behavioral data into a risk score
  • Importance of UX and visualization for health tools
  • Basics of health behavior modeling and lifestyle recommendations

What's next for Mental Health Lifestyle Risk Index

  • Add AI/ML-based predictive scoring using real survey data
  • Expand to more behavioral factors like diet, social interaction, or mindfulness
  • Focus on health equity by designing for communities with limited mental health access
