HearMe
Voice-based stress detection for student mental health awareness
Overview
HearMe is a mobile application designed to help students recognize early signs of stress and depression through voice-based analysis. Users record their voice while answering guided questions, and the system analyzes speech patterns to detect stress levels, then provides personalized activity recommendations and access to professional counseling services.
