Easier
Describe the change
Maintaining good emotional wellness are essential to every one of us as it strengthens and supports our ability to have a healthy relationship, maintains physical health and enhances well-being. In our current modern society, there’s an increase in the likelihood that a person will experience emotional stress. To many people, emotional and mental wellness are taboo subjects.
Despite there are so many news and awareness of mental/emotional wellness, to educate on the misconceptions, encourage people to seek help and get early detection, but there are no applications in the market to help us to self-management.
Early detection and treatment are referred as the antidote to suicide, however, whenever there is news on mental/emotional wellness, it’s usually a serious case. It even worries me as the age group is getting younger, especially for youth, they are not open to seek for help and advice and there are no tools available to help them to understand what is emotional/mental wellness.
How will this change impact Smart Nation Singapore in 2030?
As Singapore is moving into a Smart Nation plus there is a lot of new initiatives with the mental health support, I believe that more applications or tools using IT will able to aid the management of our own emotional wellness without any taboo. Smart Nation in 2030 will able to further enhance existing solutions as well, such as this idea that I'm currently proposing.
I would like to develop a solution that can be used by anyone to do self-management. Emotion Analysis Buddy (EAB), a self-management emotional wellness app, which aims to help the management of emotional stress.
It allows user to be aware of their emotional state through daily activities on their smartphone. EAB consists of 8 functionalities namely EAB Input History Service, Emotion Analysis, Emotion Transition Notification, Chat Artificial Intelligence, Linkup with Professional Help, Hotlines, Forums and Daily Facts.
Smart Nation in 2030 will be able to help everyone to understand the importance of emotional wellness.
