Virtual Mental Health Care

Inspiration

In my country, the ratio of therapists to patients stands at 1:80000 and mental health is a taboo topic. Many are not aware of how to diagnose or take care of their issues, this app helps them access the mental health care from their smartphone.

What it does

our VR therapist feature solves that by bringing a therapist you can talk to in your phone and through VR for the best immersion, this is achieved by using Azure’s speech to text engine in unity3D. Besides this, other mental health issues tackled by the solution are, anger issues, anxiety, various kinds of phobias, depression, demotivation, stress and to bundle it all up a guided meditation experience.

It provides tools for Virtual Support/Self Service it helps connect NGOs working with mental health patients to quickly deliver help and diagnostics as well as a tool that helps them take care of the people suffering from mental health issues. It also helps organize meetups as we integrate an anonymous location tracking algorithm that helps us collect data about what kind of mental health issue is present in which area more hence helping NGOs organize camps accordingly. The tool's headlining feature is a fast and effective mental care solution.
