Challenges & Solutions
The primary challenge was developing an AI chatbot that could provide genuinely helpful, empathetic responses to sensitive mental health topics without replacing professional therapy. I had to ensure the AI maintained appropriate boundaries, recognized crisis situations, and provided supportive rather than clinical advice. Additionally, ensuring user privacy and data security was crucial given the sensitive nature of mental health conversations.
What I Learned
This project taught me about responsible AI development in healthcare, the importance of empathetic design in mental health applications, and how to create AI systems that complement rather than replace human support. I gained deep insights into conversational AI, natural language processing for emotional context, and the ethical considerations of AI in mental health support.
