In India, the shortage of mental health professionals is severe, with only 0.75 psychiatrists per 100,000 patients, well below the WHO recommendation of at least 3 per 100,000. 🧠 This significant gap underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions to improve mental health care accessibility and support.
MoodMap is a pioneering application designed to address this gap by enabling daily depression tracking 📊 using the PHQ-9 test. The app provides personalized feedback 🤖 through the Gemini model, offering tailored advice and support to users based on their daily assessments.
Additionally, MoodMap facilitates affordable psychiatric monitoring 🩺. By allowing a single psychiatrist to remotely monitor multiple patients, the app reduces consultancy costs and enhances the psychiatrist ability to manage multiple patients efficiently. This feature makes mental health care more accessible and cost-effective.
MoodMap aims to make a significant impact by ensuring timely and adequate support for patients through critical condition alerts 🚨 and personalized advice 💬. By leveraging technology to bridge the gap between mental health needs and resources, MoodMap aspires to build a supportive community 🤝, making mental health care more scalable and effective in India. 🌍
