NX-Therapy

Inspiration

Motto : The main idea of the project was aimed at making people feel good / inspired . The world, especially given the current circumstances, seems to be unhappier than usual. The goal of this app is to spread happiness and inspire people.

Current features : The app currently provides quotes that are funny or inspiring. An individual can also contact a therapist to talk about depression, anxiety or any other issue. The user can also provide feedback on the services provided by the therapist.

How we built : We brainstormed on the application to build and had a workflow template of the features of the app. Next, we followed the official documentation guide and created an HTTP server and set up the webhook. After setting up the webhook, we integrated our app to the webhook and developed the features.

Challenges we ran into : The major challenges were in trying to get the webhook to work and in setting up the remote server on heroku.

Take - aways : We learnt how to leverage messenger experience and create a chatbot. We learnt about webhooks, hand over protocol, quick replies, Send API's and the backend infrastructure to support the messaging experience.

What's next for NX-Therapy : The goal is to add more features in order to provide an enriching experience that uplifts individuals. We would like to add personalized upbeat music recommendations, inspiring stories of individuals who broke the status quo and made it to the top, suggest events users can attend based on their locality and work on creating a happy community. To sum up, we would like to make this app a one stop solution to feeling good.
