TherapyAI

🌟 Inspiration

The inspiration behind TherapyAI came from a simple realization: psychology students need thousands of clinical hours to graduate, yet safe practice opportunities are limited. We wanted to create a platform where students could practice therapeutic conversations with AI-driven personas, reducing anxiety and improving their confidence before meeting real patients.

🛠️ What We Learned

• Designed AI personas that mimic real mental health conditions
  
• Implemented real-time feedback loops for live sessions
  
• Balanced clinical accuracy with user-friendly design
  

⚙️ How We Built It

1. Frontend & UX → Persona selection, session setup, dashboards
   
2. Voice AI Integration → Students converse with AI personas

4. Analytics Dashboard → Tracks progress & skill scores
