Reason for Nomination:
Q: What is the problem Qlindex is trying to solve?
A: Depression is now one of the world’s leading causes of disability in the 21st century. Over a quarter of working-age citizens suffer from depression. Most people cannot afford private counselling as it is cost prohibitive or inaccessible. Therefore, depression or related anxieties have remained a global problem. Qlindex is trying to solve the problem of mental health care by providing a personalized, free and accessible online virtual life coach to every citizen.
Q: How will you go about it?
A: Qlindex built a virtual AI-powered life-couching web app to support mental health against depression and anxiety. The next version listens more to users’ thoughts and behaviour and provides more personalised tips for every individual.
Q: What technologies does Qlindex use and why?
A: Qlindex uses the state-of-the-art NLP algorithm on Azure as its cloud computing platform provides the required infrastructure for the app. Azure allows the app to learn from users’ data and provide customized content and services to each individual. Without ML techniques, the app would be generic and rigid, and would only be able to address some types of people
Q: What challenges did you need to overcome?
A: The main challenge was to provide personalized content and services to each individual. Without ML techniques, it will become a generic and rigid app that can only address some types of people.
Q: What was the result?
A: The result is the first version of the mental healing app that was able to provide psychological tips about an individual’s depression and general anxiety, based on their history and current situation. Additionally, it was able to recommend customized tips to support their path to a better feeling.
Additional Information:
The best point that I can add to support our application (i.e. Reason for Nomination) is that the previous box was not written by a human! It was written by our AI engine. The same engine that we use to develop https://mentalhealing.coach.
More team information: Dr Iman Zolanvari (CEO) built the product with a help of 10 scientists and developers. Project version one is now publicly available to everyone. The next version will be a mobile app to learn and understand users’ specific mental status to provide the best tips about how to improve their quality of life.
