Description
Summary:Mental wellbeing has always been an area that has been neglected. This area of health became so much more of a concern in the season of pandemic. With the restriction on socialisation that was in place to safeguard the physical health of the public, may have in turn brought about an adverse effect on people’s mental health. Humans are relational beings, no one can survive solely all on their own. Students that are currently in their pursuit of a degree will be the focal group of people in this report. It was never an easy task for students to manage their wellbeing in school. In addition to the stress of their academic work and possible financial obligations, students may feel even more strained as a result of global events. Therefore, a mobile application is developed to address this issue. The application's name, Menta-Livery, is a play on words that originally stood for "Mental-Delivery", which mean to make alive our mental health. The documentation for Menta-Livery requirements, design, implementation, and system testing is included in this report. To ascertain users' acceptability of using Menta-Livery, a user research based on the Mobile Application Rating Scale and UTAUT2 model was carried out.
