Inspiration
We wanted to create an application that would help people suffering from depression to cope with their condition.
What it does
The application analyses the posts user shares on Facebook and analyses the "negativity" of them. If it reaches a certain threshold, it is possible that the person considers harming themselves. The app triggers the8n a conversation with a person responsible for mental and spiritual support in a "call-center". The consultant has access to information about how can they help such users, and if necessary they can advise people to undertake professional medical treatment. This "consultant" can access the location of the person they are talking to in order to call for support if the condition of the user might be serious. The application of chat not only allows for anonymity
