OnTheMend

Inspiration

After witnessing multiple family members and friends suffering from mental health problems, me and my partner decided to come up with OnTheMend

What it does

It is a platform that Offers Users Mental health support through various means such as Virtual Counselling by medical experts, access to support groups, emergency helpline numbers. It give users access to:

Support Groups: Users can interact with each other through these moderated support groups and seek help from one another.
Virtual Counselling: Users can seek professional help from licensed medical experts at affordable rates.
Platform Suggestions/Activities/Guide: Users can make use of the guidebook which contains suggestions and activities to motivate users and help them deal with the daily stressors of life.

How we built it

We are currently in the process of building it. We have Finished Most of the front-end parts of the platform. We used CSS(flexbox and tailwind) , HTML to design the UI of the platform. We utilised Javascript for Authentication and Security. To store data and create an efficient database we used MongoDB. We are currently working on more features which will require implementation of certain API's.

Challenges we ran into

We initially faced a few problems while trying to come up with a solution for the problem. We also had some trouble integrating a few of the features into our platform.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to build a satisfactory MVP and were able to overcome a few obstacles that we faced.

What's next for OnTheMend

We are planning of finishing the platform and presenting a complete working model in the coming weeks. We are currently searching for local organizations to partner with. We are also planning of implementing an AI bot which can guide and recommend certain activities from our platform.
