✅ Project overview

MindEase is a conceptual mobile app designed to help college students manage their mental health through mood tracking, reflection, and simple self-care routines. The app supports students during academic stress by encouraging mindfulness, emotional awareness, and daily check-ins in a friendly, non-judgmental interface.

❗Problem Statement

Many students face stress, anxiety, or burnout during their academic life, but hesitate to seek help due to stigma or lack of time. Current mental health apps are often complex or feel clinical. There is a need for a simple, safe, and private mental health tool tailored to students.

📚 Research

To understand the mental health challenges faced by college students and their needs for a supportive app, I conducted a mixed-methods research approach involving:

• User Interviews: I interviewed 5 college students from various academic years and backgrounds to gain qualitative insights into their mental health experiences, coping mechanisms, and app usage habits.
• Online Survey: I distributed a survey with 30 respondents focusing on students’ attitudes towards mental health apps, preferred features, and privacy concerns.
• Competitive Analysis: I analyzed 4 popular mental health apps targeted at young adults to identify strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in their offerings.
