Inspiration
We were very personally motivated to create this project, because one of our group members has struggled with undiagnosed depression and the others have friends and family they have watched suffer.
What it does
Parachute is a smartphone app that uses user data such as exercise, sleep, screen time, and app usage to predict propensity for depression.
How we built it
We plan to use a combination of statistical analysis, machine learning, and NLP to implement our idea.
Challenges we ran into
We had the idea, but didn't know if it was even possible, so we had to do research in the area to see what had already been done.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are really excited about the prospects of parachute and love the logo.
What we learned
We learned what kind of factors can affect/indicate depression. We also discovered how widespread and unchecked depression is in the world.
What's next for Parachute
We want to work on implementing our idea and expanding the predictive capabilities to other mental disorders.
