The Inspiration:
VibeCheck is a High School Survival Guide for students pursuing mindful, nutritious, and active lives, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. VibeCheck is the new term teenagers are using across the globe to question the emotional state of their peers. When one asks VibeCheck, it's a question. It's a comment. it's a reassurance. It's exactly what our app delivers. Changes in our schooling system have led to unprecedented levels of stress in teenage minds, deteriorating physical and mental well-being. According to the World Health Organization's report in 2018, 81% of adolescents don't experience the social, physical, and mental health benefits of regular physical activity. Activist Leanne Riley states that "we've had an electronic revolution that seems to have changed adolescence movement patterns and encourages them to be less active in general. That's really bad because we can see that adolescents are using more and more time staring at their screens and time practicing good health habits and less practicing good mindfulness."
The Solution
The cause of this problem is rooted in America's education system. 38% of teachers have seen a drop in secondary school physical education as a direct result of exam pressures. VibeCheck attempts to solve three major problems. The lack of nutrition, physical education, and mindfulness in current society. VibeCheck features a pedometer, nutrition calculator, mental health hub, sleep tracker, and much much more to address the needs of our students.
Current Application
With current pressures revolving around the Covid-19 Pandemic, VibeCheck would provide an outlet for students to meet their social, physical, and mental needs while staying at home. VibeCheck is an innovative solution designed by students, for students, with their best interests in mind. This app could also be utilized amongst a host of user groups as the issues it addresses are common throughout various races, genders, and walks of life. So I ask you, vibe check?
