MoodTracky

Started in 2020 and deployed from 2020 through 2022 (when we all needed a boost to our mental health!) MoodTracky was a full-featured mood-tracking and medication-tracking app designed in Python using the Flask framework.

Users were asked daily to rate their depressive symptoms, mania symptoms, and medication compliance, and the data was kept in a database for them to review to keep track and notice trends, and was displayed in chart form.

Users could also get two-week averages and results in a printable, "report" format for their own records or to share with caregivers or medical providers. Graphing functionality was provided by Matplotlib

Reflection

As of this writing, MoodTracky stands as my most ambitious and rewarding project to date. Formerly deployed to PythonAnywhere, the app is currently on hiatus. Throughout the process, I gained extensive knowledge not only in Python and Flask but also in managing user accounts, authentication, data security, and other related aspects of creating a polished service.

I was the first registered user of MoodTracky and I still use it daily (well, almost daily!) to support my mental health. The design was primarily driven by my own experiences; I found many mood-tracking tools overwhelming and lacking in user-friendliness. This personal insight significantly influenced my design philosophy.

Though not currently in operation, I may relaunch the service at some point in the future, as I remain passionate about its potential and usefulness.
