Inspiration
Competitive exams offer us the opportunity to be a part of our country's most prestigious institutions. But all that glitters is not gold. The bomb of investments in terms of fees and time keeps ticking for our students. They completely isolate themselves, thinking this bold step will increase their probability to perform well. Little do they know that the distance which is supposed to keep them focused towards their goal, acts as a slow poison, eventually making our poor kids the easiest targets of depression and anxiety. Adding to this, COVID-19 has affected the student population of our country to such an extent that 28 innocent lives are lost on a daily basis as per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) and the Indian Psychiatric Society.
What it does
Students with mental illness fear how society will treat them. Because of this, a life of misery and solitude is shoved down their throats. What we want to provide them, is a platform for rejuvenating their social life. A platform where they will find companions without being judged. We call this life-changing platform, SANEMID working on the ancient principles of ‘Chittavrittinirodha’ which means to calm the oscillation of the mind towards stability.
Challenges I ran into
Data collection was quite challenging as finding filtered data was next to impossible, a lot of time was wasted to find clean data on which the machine learning model could be trained. Training and testing the model on customized data is still not perfect because of the slight errors in learning and deployment.
Some features are
Sharing data : A feature that can allow users to share their moods on social media, directly with family members, or with healthcare providers.
Matching users and therapists : After gathering a user’s medical data through a set of questions, a mental health app can use an algorithm to recommend suitable therapists.
Like-minded communities : Dealing with something is easier when there are others around you who are also dealing with it. This can help users know they’re not alone and can pull them through hard times. Journals and Blogs : Not everyone is comfortable physically writing down their thoughts and feelings, a journaling feature in our app could be a portable and secure solution.
Relaxation techniques : Mindfulness is a great way to improve everyday life. Breathing techniques, guided and unguided meditation, prayers, and positive affirmations are just a few of the features you might incorporate into your app.
Volunteering Feature : We will appreciate the efforts of all our volunteers, with a vote of thanks and an appreciation certificate for their service to society.
