Project Summary

Problem Identified

Mental Health is a topic that does not get discussed openly and it might be one of the most pressing issues we are facing currently. The stigma associated with mental health as well as lack of access, affordability, and awareness leads to significant gaps in treatment. According to the WHO, approximately 7.5% of Indians suffer from some form of mental disorder. There’s a great necessity to Fight the stigma and provide resources to struggling individuals. We used the double diamond model to help us define the problem and all the issues related to it.

Design Innovation

We approached solutions through effort impact matrix, listing potential solutions, and identifying and prioritizing ideas which ultimately led us to a solution, Eunoia, The Mental Health Consultant App. Today, there are a number of apps to play games, quizzes, take tests and surveys and get scores, allow online consultation. But what makes Eunoia unique is the fact that it keeps the anonymity of the user while prioritizing safety. Secondly, interconnectivity between the app features. Eunoia attempts to keep the user anonymous while communicating with a consultant ensuring ultimate privacy. Users can share their issues without hesitation. Eunoia works with Augmented reality where the users can use virtual avatars which mimic our facial expressions for the consultant, and a voice changer to keep the user identity anonymous.offers games, tests and makes sure the scores are recorded in its psych profile, which is used to recommend further activities.

Impact On The Society

The system checks out the licenses of practitioners to make sure there is no form of abuse taking place. Additionally, the app offers group therapies, diet charts, exercise plans. Books, journals that are validated and personalized music, podcasts.It ultimately offers a holistic picture of your mental health. This is a positive health impact on the country and the world.
