Neurotalk Therapy Chatbot

Abstract

The AI-driven platform “NeuroTalk” helps users to combat mental issues like stress, anxiety, and cognitive distortions through a guided conversation. Users receive mental health assistance in a stigma-free manner. Structured, empathic therapy sessions guided by CBT techniques are provided. At its core, NeuroTalk utilizes Gemini AI for real-time intelligent conversational therapy. We built the frontend with React, which provides a smooth and adaptive user experience, while authentication, tracking active sessions, and business logic are processed by the back end using Fast API. All users’ interactions and progress data are captured in an SQL database, guaranteeing reliability and integrity of data stored. To foster inclusivity alongside an engaging user experience, NeuroTalk also implements Speech-to-Text (STT) for user’s voice input, alongside Text-to-Speech (TTS) for audio delivery of chatbot replies. This allows users to listen in during the sessions which makes the system easier to use for people with reading difficulties, as well as visually impaired individuals. Other notable features include encrypted chat storage, session logs, and emotion-aware responding through sentiment analysis. The system provides HIPAA-conscious data handling privacy. By combining AI firm therapy with contemporary voice interfaces along with protective architecture, NeuroTalk offers an always-available digital therapist that empowers users to actively manage their mental health anytime, anywhere.
