Development of a mobile application which communicates with individuals, measure stress levels, gives advice and contact healthcare professionals

Abstract

Mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety and stress, are becoming more common among young adults, especially university students. These conditions significantly affect academic performance and overall well-being. However, traditional interventions remain constrained by high costs, limited accessibility and social stigma. This study aims to develop a mobile application capable of assessing users’ mental health using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), delivering personalized coping strategies, and enabling communication with healthcare professionals, offering an accessible and cost-effective solution for mental health support
