Mental Health Tracker

The Pandemic has changed the way Universities engage with their students. There are still students unable to get back to University and this has had considerable impact on their learning and mental health. I want to develop an app that provides these students with a platform to record how they are feeling on a day-to-day and weeky-by-week basis. This could be done through the use of mood tracking with sliders to measure variables such as stress, happiness, workloads etc. Additionally, having a journal feature would help students note down important aspects of their day and they impacted their frame of mind. Having record of this data can then help students reflect and understand aspects of their learning that contribute both, positively and negatively towards their mental health. Furthermore, I would like to provide them with access to conversation forums that enable students to interact with their peers who may find themselves in a similar situation. Ultimately, I would leave it up to the student whether they wanted to share this personal information with their University and tutors so that they can also be part of the process. This could benefit students as tutors will gain a better understanding of what motivates students during online learning, and what could have detrimental impacts on their mental health.
