Mental Health Web App

A web platform that lets psychologists build their own interactive assessments instead of relying on static PDFs and spreadsheets.

Clinicians compose questionnaires from reusable blocks, arrange them with a dynamic layout system, and publish them to patients. Responses stream back in real time, and practitioners get notified as patients progress through a session — which noticeably improved engagement and completion rates.

Built with React on the front end and a Node.js/Express API backed by PostgreSQL, with WebSockets driving the live notifications.
