Inspiration

We believe mental health support should empower individuals. As we enter a new era, we can leverage technology to address stigma, remove barriers, and commit to creating a supportive platform.

What it does

Mind Pal Platform aims to support users in managing their mental well-being, overcoming challenges, and achieving a healthier and happier life.

How we built it

Hume is a service that provides an empathetic AI API. The user's speech and typed messages are sent directly to the API, and the API replies with the transcriptions to be displayed and audio to be played. To generate a summary, the app prompts a traditional language model (through you.com) with a request to summarize the conversation along with all messages. This request includes a request to specifically highlight recommendations in the form of bullet points. The user interface is written in React, enabling responsive design and a quick development time

Challenges we ran into

Our biggest 1st challenge is the team building. It took a half day for us on the first day of the hackathon. We used Psychologist Bruce Tuckman's model, to move through stages of forming, storming, norming and performing a team.

In the process of integrating multiple AI systems, using APIs that weren't designed with React's rendering in mind, numerous small bugs came up.

What we learned

We learned about the existence of empathetic AI and about how we could integrate language models into our projects. We also learned more about React and CSS Flexbox.

What's next for MindPal

Mind Pal will explore and work further on expanding AI capabilities and adding new features and tools. Mind Pal will implement gamification and encourage user engagement and progress. Mind Pal is further planning to integrate with wearable devices to track physical health and correlate with mental well-being. Additionally, we will be collaborating with mental health organizations, research institutions, and healthcare providers to further enhance the platform.
