About this Project:
Mood Chat is for people who find it difficult to communicate with others while maintaining eye contact. Our app helps people get quick responses for actual therapists and other people that share the same experience. If we were to build it we would add more features and will be open to suggestions for our users that are using our app.
Our group came up with the idea of creating a mental health app because we realized that this generation has many people who have many issues and it may be difficult for others to express their emotions or speak directly to someone in person. Our generation has evolved in speaking up about mental health and we would also like to contribute in helping other teenagers get help for their issues. Many teens and even children are dealing with mental issues that affect how they live every day life and our group would like to help those who need it most, which leads us to the main point of why this app was designed.
Our project contains varieties of functions that can help regular children and teens on their problems and their journey to wellness. This app contains reminders, therapy chats where you can talk to a professional AI which basically consists of a comfort character that patients feel comfortable with and can talk to the AI. Mood chat even contains a community room where you can chat to anyone in your mental group and help others or relate with others and help several people with similar issues to yours.

Feedback from the Judges:
I think it is great that the user has options to not only speak to a professional AI therapist, but they can also connect with real people who are facing similar struggles. I think the layout of your app is very clean and easy to navigate. It would be more visually pleasing if the color palette of the app was more consistent.
I am very impressed by this proposal. Access to mental health support is important, and this application elevates the idea to including an AI option for those not comfortable with talking to a stranger.
Excellent design elements throughout the app proposal. Simplicity of the interface is important, nice job here.

The time investment in your project is evident! It was great to see how you highlighted multiple features that your app provides, as well as allowing users to check-off as many illnesses as they may have to get the best help possible.
I would perhaps think of how you can create more graphics to help with the highlighting of features. Though I like how colorful you made your design.
Overall, excellent job putting together a well written, clear, and useful project!

My child Justin has some classmates attending this program and with checking this one app design (mood chat) honestly makes me anxious seeing that many other children have such great apps but I would absolutely love for my child's classmates to win or this app because it is truly extraordinary. I hope this app can help my child, Justin to better himself with anxiety!
