Inspiration

Our inspiration is based on a major health problem concerning mental health and how most people who suffer from it do not have anyone to talk to and keep it to themselves.

What it does

By using our website, users could determine their mood of the day and create a journal to write down anything in their heart. Then our AI therapist will analyse the user's mental health based on the journal written down.

(Bonus): A leaderboard to compare happiness between users
