The problem CalmNest: Cultivating Mental Wellness for All solves

Mental health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, aligning with Goal 3 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by the UN, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages: SDG Goal 3.

Addressing mental health issues is crucial, as evidenced by the article "Emotional problems in young people were rising rapidly even before the pandemic" published on The Conversation. Read more.

CalmNest is a versatile platform designed to support mental well-being and promote a positive mindset among users. With its array of features and resources, CalmNest aims to simplify the process of managing mental health and accessing relevant support.

Features of CalmNest:

  • Comprehensive Resources: CalmNest offers a rich library of articles, videos, and self-help materials covering various aspects of mental health, including stress management, anxiety coping strategies, and mindfulness exercises.
  • Interactive Chatbot: Equipped with natural language processing capabilities, the platform's chatbot allows users to seek information, ask questions, or express their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. It offers personalized responses and suggestions for coping strategies or professional resources.
  • Music Therapy: CalmNest features a music recommendation system based on users' reported levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Customized playlists with calming or uplifting music genres are curated to help users relax, unwind, or improve their mood.
  • Journaling and Reflection: Users can utilize journaling features to record their thoughts, emotions, and daily experiences. Journaling serves as a therapeutic tool for self-reflection, emotional expression, and personal growth tracking. Reminders and prompts encourage regular journaling practice.

Challenges we ran into

  • We faced a challenge when using the fetch API to send POST requests to the API Server. The server was healthy, and Postman was working to connect to it, but the website was blocked due to the POST requests being sent as OPTIONS requests, resulting in a CORS error.
  • However, thanks to a Stack Overflow article, we could fix this issue by implementing the Flask-Cors library to allow preflight requests in our network: Stack Overflow article.
