Ether
This project is a mobile application designed to support people experiencing emotional crises, such as anxiety attacks, panic attacks, and emotional breakdowns. Many individuals struggle to understand and express what they are feeling during these moments.
Our app allows users to indicate when they are in crisis by pressing a button. Based on information previously shared by the user, an AI system provides personalized support, helping them manage their emotions and express their feelings in a safe and accessible way.

Learning Journey
Learning Journey
Our team learned a lot about how people deal with mental health challenges, such as anxiety and other disorders. We discovered that although everyone experiences these situations differently, there are also many common feelings and struggles.
We also conducted research through an online survey, which was a new learning experience for our team.
We faced challenges in coding and design because we were beginners and didn’t know where to start. However, by asking for help from mentors and supporting each other, we were able to overcome these difficulties and continue developing our project.
Information Legitimacy Description
Our team ensured the information was reliable by using multiple trusted sources, such as well-known websites and articles, and comparing the information between them.
We also collected primary data by creating an online survey for people who experience emotional crises. Their responses helped us understand real experiences and confirm patterns we found in our research.
By combining research from different sources with real user feedback, we increased the credibility and relevance of the information used in our project.

from the beginning, we prioritized user privacy and emotional safety. Our main commitment is to protect personal data by allowing users to express themselves and seek support anonymously, ensuring that their emotional crises are never linked to their identity. We also considered the responsible use of AI, ensuring it remains a support tool rather than a replacement for professional help. We are transparent about its limitations, making it clear that Ether is a digital companion designed for immediate emotional relief and coping. Additionally, we focus on inclusive language and accessibility, ensuring that all users, including neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals, feel respected and safe while using our app.
