It has always been difficult for university students to maintain their wellbeing in school and life, especially during this pandemic. With the restrictions on socialising in place, students may be experiencing loneliness and boredom. Furthermore, students are also being pressured by external factors such as financial burdens. This will have a negative impact on or mood, resulting in you feeling generally not yourself. In this report, uJournal is a mobile application that was developed with the aim to improve students’ wellbeing, both mentally and physically. The mobile application also provides a platform for university students to engage in interactions online despite the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. This report consists of the documentation on the requirements, design, implementation, and system testing of uJournal. A user study was conducted based on the Mobile Application Rating Scale and UTAUT2 model to determine users’ acceptance towards using uJournal.
