- Desenvolvimento de aplicação híbrida para auto-gestão de Saúde MentalPublication . Ferreira, Carlos Daniel Santos Pinto; Martins, António Constantino LopesMental illnesses represent a substantial global burden, affecting numerous individuals and challenging healthcare systems. However, technology emerges as a powerful ally in addressing these challenges. Through digital platforms, online communities, and telehealth solutions, it provides accessible means for early detection, support, and treatment of mental health conditions. As technology advances, its ability to alleviate the global impact of mental illnesses becomes increasingly evident, offering prospects for enhancing mental well-being on a global scale. This dissertation delves into the field of mental health applications and aims to analyse and develop an application designed for the self-management of mental health issues, with a focus on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Furthermore, the system is intended to offer an intuitive interface to minimize user confusion and provide access to specific activities such as exercises, mental games, recipes, and a gallery where users can store and revisit memories. Through evaluations and conclusions, the results of the resulting application are described, along with suggestions for improvement and future work to be undertaken.
