Smart Solutions to Keep Your Mental Balance.

ABSTRACT

Due to the coronavirus pandemic international conflicts, dramatic changes of daily living have been enforced, including new ways of providing patient assistance, based on artificial intelligence. The influence of these changes on people's mental health is still insufficiently analyzed and explored. Chatbots like Woebot, Wysa and Tess are gaining popularity, being attractive and easy to use. These achievements led us to develop a new application, being still in the testing phase, which has a positive impact on mental healthcare issues. It is a conversational system capable to diagnose people's negative, depressive, and anxious emotions during chatting, and to act as a psychological therapist and virtual friend. The proposed system, throughout the conversation, succeeds to decrease the patient's insecurity sentiments, by comforting their mood. In fact, an intelligent assistant for different mental health issues like stress, anxiety and depression, could become a very helpful information system.
