Inspiration
Mental health is one of the hardest things to actually own up to. Owning up to it would mean you have to have conversations about how to explain from the beginning, when you just want someone to listen to you as opposed to start judging you. Then ask you, "When do you feel this way?" and then you are unable to think of it.
We watched young adults sit outside GP surgeries, rehearsing what to say. Ten minutes later, they'd walk out having said nothing close to what was actually going on.
The problem isn't courage,it's the gap between carrying something for weeks and articulating it in a tight, clinical appointment window. Students today are struggling with anxiety, burnout, and isolation, but the system asks them to compress their experience into a checklist on the spot.
What it does
It gives users of SafeSpace to log via mental health issues, so the stress, whatever it is, they can log it and sort of compress it to give to the GP or whichever therapist they have.
How we built it
I made use of the Cursor, React Native, the GLM, and Photo to create some images. I broke down the features and then just built it up on what I was going for.
Challenges we ran into
Trying to be unique because when I finished building the initial MVP, it looks so generic, so I spent a couple of hours trying to think of different entry points for how this makes sense.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The whole project
What we learned
What I learned from this project is:
- Speed matters number one.
- The fact that AI agents are actually insane, like they are building things very quickly.
- Mental health is still underrated. I mean, when I checked the NHS site, it was a secondary issue.
What's next for ThroughLine
Try to create a more dynamic structure where you can sign in with your student ID and it automatically links with the school database.
