In today’s world, mobile phones and applications play an important role in everyone’s life. With the rapid growth of mental illness, mental health-focused apps and websites have gradually increased globally in recent years. This study aims to develop a mobile application that will primarily serve Sri Lankans with mental health problems, helping them identify their levels of stress, anxiety, and depression (ADS) and receiving advice on how to deal with them. This app’s main objective is to support those who are dealing with mental illnesses and raise awareness of them locally using machine learning and image processing techniques. It does this by serving as a constant reminder of how crucial mental health is and how much of an impact it has on daily life. The GSE Scale, DASS 21 scale has been used to find the users’ mental health illness and the severity of each mental health illness such and Anxiety depression and stress. These methods are put to our mobile application using machine learning techniques such as Decision tree and Random Forest classifiers and uses image processing technologies, CNN machine learning algorithm to offer a variety of activities for reliving stress, depression, and anxiety,

    UNWIND – A Mobile Application that Provides Emotional Support for Working Women
    (IEEE, 2022-10-11) Kugapriya, P; Manohara, M; Ranganathan, K; Kanapathy, D; Gamage, A
    Depression is a common phenomenon affecting more than 264 million people worldwide. It is one of the leading causes of disability and a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. Around twice as many women are affected by mental illness compared to men. This situation has worsened during the pandemic. The need to balance both work life and personal life has put them under immense pressure. Even though the diagnosis of mental illness almost exclusively depends on doctor-patient communication, it has its own set of disadvantages such as patient denial, recall bias, subjective biases, time-consuming and inaccuracy and it is a long-term health problem that needs to be continuously monitored and managed. Considering this social problem, we have planned to develop an Emotional Support Mobile application UNWIND – using modern technological concepts of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Which focuses especially on working women and would include several functionalities: a Chabot to detect mental health status in real-time and to provide counseling, an internal activities tracker to find the correlation between changes in lifestyle and mental health, an improvement tracker of the user’s current mental state using facial recognition and also Recommendation system with the support group, which recommends the most suitable professional counselors to the user as per their preferences and enabling into the support group to provide with necessary treatments and consultation at greater accuracy.
