Moodify

Inspiration

Nearly 1 in 2 Australians had experienced a mental disorder during their lifetime.1 in 5 (20%) Australians experienced a mental disorder in the previous 12 months (ABS 2008). With the introduction of COVID-19, the pandemic has had extreme negative effects on people’s mental wellbeing.

Inspired by the high and increasing number of mental disorder patients in Australia, we decided to implement ‘Moodify’ in hopes of aiding in improving the patients’ mental health.

What it does

Before the usage of Moodify. Users are required to register accounts for personalised profile of themselves. Moodify allows its users to record their emotions of the day and activities that might have caused them to feel that way. As the user input more data, they will be collected with consent and be generated into graphs and charts for a more detailed analysis of their emotions

How we built it

The tech stack used is flutter, Android studio. Some of the important libraries or packages used are flutter-charts, sqlite.

Challenges we ran into

The learning curve involved in flutter.
Integrating UI with the database, charting out this data.
Working with an unfamiliar coding language.
Establishing an effective method for collaborative coding.
Once each page was accomplished assembling them together to make them error free was time consuming

Accomplishments that we're proud of

For all of us this was our first time developing a mobile app. We are proud that we have successfully completed a basic app, and are keen to continue with app development.

What we learned

We learnt how to develop an app using a language that we had little previous experience with.

What's next for Moodify

Moodify has the potential to be much more than a mood tracker. We hope that it could become the next ‘Facebook’ for mental disorder patients. I.e., the users could share their emotions and actives of the day with other mental disorder patients and see who is doing or feeling the same things as they are nearby. In doing this, we hope the users could form a community of mental disorder patients with support and warmth.
