Calmy Application for Helping People with Anxiety Disorder

Anxiety disorder is a mental disorder that causes excessive anxiety and fear. Anxiety disorder inhibits the learning process, resulting in decreased academic performance. However, this disease is not widely understood by the public. Therefore, students of the Informatics Engineering Education study program at the Faculty of Engineering UNY developed a platform that can educate students about anxiety disorder and mental health disorders. The Calmy platform was developed with a superior feature: a Voice Chatbot integrated with Artificial Intelligence as a user story friend and talk therapy.
