Project Synopsis

We have developed a healthcare platform that helps individuals manage their mental health through mood tracking and journaling activities. It enables users to identify patterns and triggers in their writing and offers features like guided journaling and prompts. The project aims to allow therapists to monitor homework compliance and progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and prepare clients for sessions. Automated reminders help clients stay engaged, and real-time results are available to both clients and therapists. Overall, it is an accessible and convenient option for clients and clinicians, with features that can be integrated into therapy sessions.

Project Requirements/ Context

Create a new React Native project

To create a new React Native project for this application, follow the steps outlined in React Native documentation.

Build the user interface

The application should be intuitive and easy to navigate. It should incorporate the brand elements and provide a seamless user experience.

Integrate the platform features

The application should provide access to all the features and functionalities, such as assigning activities, mood tracking, and scheduling. Ensure that all features work seamlessly on the mobile application.

Ensure cross-platform compatibility

The application should be built to run smoothly on both Android and iOS devices. Cross-platform compatibility should ensure the best user experience across different mobile devices.

Implement a testing strategy

A testing strategy should be developed to ensure the application is robust and functions as expected. Testing should be done on Android and iOS devices to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

Adhere to coding standards

The code should be developed in line with best coding practices, ensuring it is modular, scalable, and easy to maintain.

Key challenges

Key Challenges	Solution
Implementing deep linking during the app-building process to ensure seamless navigation between different parts of the application.	Using branch.io gives us all the functionality to implement deep linking for our client app. It works on both the back-end and front-end sides to provide the best results to the users.

Solution Implementation

The first step involved setting up the development environment for implementing React Native app. This included installing necessary software such as Node.js, npm, and React Native CLI and using an emulator or physical device for testing the app during development.
The second step was creating a new React Native project for an app using the React Native CLI. This involved running a command in the terminal to create a new project with a specified name.
The third step was installing the required dependencies for an app using npm or yarn package managers. This included libraries for handling navigation, state management, and API requests.
In the fourth step, the UI components for an app were built using React Native’s built-in components and styling system. Third-party libraries were also used for additional UI functionality while following the app’s design guidelines and branding.
The fifth step involved implementing the app’s functionality, such as handling user authentication, managing state, making API requests, and taking data persistence. The app’s API was also integrated for communication with the web-based platform.
The sixth step was testing and debugging the app on emulators and physical devices using React Native’s debugging tools. Different scenarios were tested to ensure the app’s reliability and stability.
Finally, in the seventh step, the app was prepared for deployment by creating release builds, signing the app with appropriate certificates and keys, and submitting it to the respective app stores while following app deployment, branding, and legal requirements guidelines.

Results

With our team’s hard work and dedication, we have successfully developed a comprehensive platform for individuals looking to improve their mental health through journaling and mood tracking.

The top features of the app include:
