AnxietyEase: A secure, privacy-first platform for anxiety management with expert guidance, emotional tracking, and real-time tools
Project Overview
AnxietyEase is a comprehensive platform designed to help users manage anxiety through therapeutic tools and resources. The app provides expert audio and video sessions, a daily diary for emotional tracking, and specialized tools like a worry timer to assist users in their mental well-being journey.
