The objective of this research is to assess the current mental health care options available to students at Tufts University and develop a more inclusive and innovative med-tech solution that is user-friendly.

This approach entails evaluating the effectiveness and accessibility of existing mental health resources at Tufts University, including therapy-based portals and peer support programs. Subsequently, the research aims to identify gaps and shortcomings in these services, particularly concerning inclusivity and user experience.

Building upon these findings, the study will focus on designing and implementing a social support solution that addresses these shortcomings and enhances the overall mental health support system for Tufts students and the larger community. This solution will prioritize inclusivity, accessibility, and user-friendliness, leveraging technology to streamline access to resources and support.
