Challenge
The Innovate 48 Design Hackathon is a competition where teams put their creative skills to the test to design a functional application prototype within 48 hours. Over 450 members across the globe have come together, forming teams of 5-8 people to tackle the challenge. Including my team, 29 teams made it to the final presentation.
Out of the 3 given prompts, our team has chosen the prompt to design an innovative AI-powered mental health app MVP (Minimum viable product) for the US market with an integrated AI Therapist, offering personalized support and education for a diverse user demographic. Our final solution must also include:
1. Habit forming feature; encouraging regular mental health self-checks & exercises
