Abstract

Emotional and mental health is important as it encompasses our psychological, emotional and social wellbeing. It plays a vital role in the health of our relationships, allowing us to adapt to changes in life and deal with adversity. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on our lives. Many of us are facing challenges that can be stressful, overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide. Considering this as quintessential and need of the hour, I have developed Calmify a full mental wellness Tech package to help and discover ways to take a healthy approach to your emotional wellness. It includes a mobile application along with a novel and innovative Mental Wellness Smart Glove, which will surely help people to cope with stress in a healthy way. IoT technologies have a great potential in mental health for diagnoses, treatment, and care due to the increased ability to collect real-time data indicating patterns of activity and behaviour of people. On that note, I developed Calmify as an IoT-based BioMedical Embedded System that aims to provide a mental health solution that is efficient, cost-effective, feasible, easy to use and most importantly affordable for everyone. The smart glove is a wearable device that can monitor the mental wellbeing of the patient and provide ML predictions on the onset of serious mental health issues using psychophysiological signals obtained from unobtrusive smart sensors embedded in the glove which can be carried during daily life routines of individuals. Overall, it will be helpful in providing proactive healthcare to the patients.
