Abstract
We all are living in a hectic world today, with rigid schedules and deadlines. This has led to an increase in various mental health problems. The rising prevalence of mental health challenges, including stress, grief, anger, low self-esteem, loneliness, and social anxiety, has highlighted the necessity for effective digital mental health interventions. This review paper investigates the conceptual framework of Sahara: A Digital Companion for Mental Well-being, focusing on the planning phase of this comprehensive mobile application. This study analyses pre-existing mental health support platforms, identifying key limitations in crisis intervention and integrated support. This app is designed to portray five different modules namely, Authentication Module, Chatbot Module, Mental Health Tracking Module, Therapy Session Booking Module, and Emergency Contacts Module. Various AI and ML based concepts and algorithms are going to be used for the implementation of this project; NLP, Dialogflow, LSTM models, SVM classifiers, Twilio, to name a few. The project methodology includes extensive planning, system design using Flutter and Firebase, and detailed testing strategies, setting the foundation for next-phase implementation. The anticipated outcome is an all-in-one solution that offers personalized emotional support, tracks mood trends, and provides timely crisis intervention. This research outlines the future development and the innovative integration of AI and ML in creating a mental health app that bridges current technological gaps.
