Inspiration

Living in 2023 as teenagers we are exposed to a lot of the problems of our society and work to fix them with tools that are accessible to us. As a team, we are all aware of the stress that comes with being a student, supporting a family, or pursuing a career. Specifically, womens’ health is a major issue that is still too often neglected by the rest of the world. One in every three women globally have suffered from mental health issues at least once in their lives, equating to billions of women globally.Thus, we decided to build a safe space for users to unwind by expressing their emotions and providing insight into their physical and mental health

What it does

The Healthy Place offers a variety of functions to provide the perfect environment for users to relax and reflect on their day. First, we built a login page to store user data and they are able to view their profile information. Our research concluded that there are many ways to do this and that one’s physical health is a huge premise to consider when looking to ameliorate mental health. As a result, we provide three main functions to aid physical health, specifically for women. First, the sleep tracker function provides information on the user’s sleep schedule and patterns when given a data set of sleep information for a week. Second, the ovulation calendar uses biological characteristics and patterns, along with user input to calculate ovulation dates within a month for women to be more aware of their bodies. Finally, the Cycle Tracker refers to recording and predicting the user’s menstrual cycle when given their past few periods. Additionally, we provide three functions to help the mental health of users. First, the Healthy Place has a mood tracker function which allows users to create posts throughout the day based on their emotion, represented by an emoji. The posts are all saved to a user’s profile and will be saved after the webpage is closed. Second, the website offers a trained AI Therapist model that uses machine learning and was coded with python. As it has not been integrated into the website, we included a temporary AI Chatbot which uses the ChatGPT API. Additionally, a music player was built as a way to relax with all different genres of music as it has been shown to decrease stress and anxiety as well as ease physical pain.

How we built it

The entire project was built using various languages, methods and APIs. All of the front-end development was created using HTML and styles with CSS to make it more visually appealing. The backend development was more difficult as we all employed different methods. The ovulation calendar, menstrual cycle tracker and sleep tracker were all coded with JavaScript, however the AI Therapist uses python to create a model that can be trained as well as the ChatGPT API.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we ran into was with coding the AI Therapist as we all has very little experience with machine learning and AI; however, we persevered and managed to successfully train and build the model.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Evidently, we are incredibly proud of the entire project as all of us are still relatively new to hackathons in general, as our experience is mainly with competitive coding. Specifically, using APIs and machine learning are not something that we expected to be able to execute in a timed competition.

What we learned

We learned so many new things about presentations and robotics from all the websites that the MediHacks Team provided such as telling personal stories. We also learned many new skills in terms of computing and coding as previously evidenced. We learned to use machine learning and expanded our API skills.

What's next for The Healthy Place

In the future, we definitely plan to expand and continue our project. There are still many directions the Healthy Place can go with more advanced machine learning models we can analyze the emotions of users and track stress levels. Additionally we could increase the interactivity between users for them to connect with each other. This is incredibly important as social connection is a huge contributor in relieving stress
