Abstract

Mental health is a vital part of overall well-being, but many people still struggle to access the support they need. Barriers such as high therapy costs, social stigma, and a shortage of mental health professionals often prevent individuals from getting timely help. To bridge this gap, we developed EMO-CARE, an AI-powered therapy web application that provides emotional support through a compassionate and friendly chatbot. Our project aims to create a safe space where users can openly share their feelings, receive comforting responses, and keep track of their mental health over time.

The EMO-CARE platform uses Google's Generative AI (Gemini) to understand what users are saying, recognize their emotions, and respond thoughtfully. It combines speech-to-text and emotion detection features, allowing users to communicate through both voice and text. The chatbot is designed to identify a broad range of emotions and offer responses that are not only relevant but also genuinely empathetic, helping users navigate difficult emotions with kindness and understanding.
