Mentify

Inspiration

In our tech-driven era, growing isolation threatens mental well-being. Having silently battled mental health challenges due to insecurity, I'm inspired to develop an app that fosters a supportive community facilitated by AI interaction. Through a contact form, users can connect, break the silence, and overcome insecurity. Let's combat loneliness, prioritize mental health, and foster a sense of belonging.

What it does

Mentify is a comprehensive mental health platform utilizing advanced language models to offer a chat assistant, therapist support, and personalized medical recommendations based on user history. It encourages community engagement through open-source contributions, allowing users to share their stories. Additionally, Mentify features an image recognition model for detailed medication information. It's not just a tool; it's a compassionate guide leveraging technology to empower individuals on their mental health journey.

How we built it

We built Mentify using Next.js and GitHub for the complete project. Key components include:

Gemini Pro for chat and therapy features.
Python and Streamlit for personalized health recommendations.
Gemini Pro Vision for image detection and medication information.
Next.js and GitHub for the health care blog.
Clerk for user authentication.
Next.js and Resend for the contact form.
Rive for interactive elements like the panda mascot and splash screen.
Vercel for deployment.

Challenges we ran into

We encountered challenges with the language model (LLM) not providing the intended responses, requiring prompt refinements. Additionally, latency issues with the LLM created awkward user experiences, which we addressed by implementing loading animations and continuous text display features for smoother interactions.
