Abstract

Over the past few years, there has been an increased emphasis on mental health awareness and wellbeing. It is a topic that many do not feel comfortable talking about or acknowledging. Taking care of one's mental health is important for the individual's overall wellbeing. College students are a group of individuals who face several pressures that may affect mental health. It can become difficult to juggle their class schedules, assignments, work schedules, and social lives. Struggling to maintain these responsibilities can cause stress and anxiety for the students. Students may be uncomfortable to express their thoughts, as it may be difficult to discuss mental health. With the COVID-19 pandemic there has been an additional stress placed upon college students by taking extra precautions when going out and maintaining their social lives. To alleviate some of the stress and pressures faced by college students, a mobile app called Studying-Alive for holistic wellbeing management is being developed. This wellness app focuses on helping college students reduce stress and organize their schedules while tracking their responsibilities and overall health.
