This project seeks to mitigate the pervasive issue of eating disorders among young individuals, many of whom are either uninformed or hesitant to discuss their experiences openly. Through this interactive platform, I aim to foster a deeper understanding of one’s body, helping individuals recognize signals of fullness and promoting a healthy lifestyle. This exploration is grounded in the belief that technology can be a conduit for education and self-awareness, encouraging a proactive approach to well-being and mental health.
Objective
To develop an interactive platform that aids in the early detection and management of eating disorders by providing peer support and real-time feedback.
Target Users
Individuals who are at risk of developing or have been diagnosed with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder.
Needs:
Mental Health Expert: Collaborate with psychologists and counselors to develop the psychological support system, including the chatbot functionality, is crucial to ensure that the support provided is clinically sound and effective.
Community Building: Strategies to foster a supportive community through the app, which would involve insights from experts in community building and mental health.
