Building a chatbot to help with the general mental well-being of the Australian community

The Background

COVID-19 had a big impact on the mental health of people all around the world. In Australia, mental health issues have escalated. Some statistics from the government are here.

“The volume of mental health-related PBS prescriptions dispensed spiked in March 2020 when COVID-19 restrictions were first introduced, followed by a dip in April 2020.”

Now, with the lifting of the restrictions, we need to reassess the mental health space and normalize the conversations around this topic.

The Problem

The objective is to scope out a better way to create habits for general well-being.

The Project Goals

1. Scope out mental health issues in Canberra

2. Talk to mental health experts and find out 3 key steps to maintaining general well-being

3. Build a prototype chatbot/web app to help people maintain a routine for general well-being

4. Test that prototype for user-experience

5. Vet the chatbot through proper channels

 

The Learning Outcomes

1. Natural Language Processing

2. Domain Knowledge in Mental Health space

3. Prototyping ML solutions

4. Testing in ML

5. User needs analysis and testing
