Your friend is here 24*7 to look after your mental health
Mental health is often an overlooked and stigmatized issue in many developing countries, in spite of its prevalence. According to a World Health Organisation (WHO) Report, major or minor mental illnesses requiring expert intervention is 7.5 per cent of India’s population. One in seven Indians were affected by mental disorders of varying severity. The proportional contribution of mental disorders to the total disease burden in India has almost doubled since 1990. Substantial variations exist between states in the burden from different mental disorders and in their trends over time.

- It was a learning curve for Namrata. This was her first edge add-on and she did a great job in completing the Edge Add-on as a team.
- We managed to pull off our idea in very very short span of time.
- We loved the idea of how we can suggest different activities based on how the user is feeling right now.
- Both of us became more fluent and faster in making add-ons.
- We learnt to effectively use the documentation as per our use case.
- Designing and prototype with completion effectively and meeting deadlines.
- We aim to add a storage facility wherein we can store the user's emotions and recommend activities for them.
