Project Summary

Problem Identified

You are sitting in front of a screen right now, you’ll probably go back and check your WhatsApp after this and later come back to check the other ideas. Working on screens can not only be strenuous for your eyes but also for your mind. That’s why we have MELP, a software, which aims at maintaining mental wellbeing and optimizing the productivity of working professionals during the lockdown. It also helps in bridging the vibe of working together and the missing personal camaraderie which is tested proof for increased efficiency in teams. This entire experience is based on personalizing the workspace, this will work by answering a color-based personality test, which will help our algorithm select a workspace design suited to provide them an enriching experience. A study shows that 58% of HR professionals think that the pandemic situation coupled with job stress and a complete economic collapse is going to affect the mental space of the workforce throughout the world. To combat this, our services include MELP Hustle which is a dashboard integrated with your Google Calendar, Slack, and Trello. It displays your meetings, messages, and tasks in a methodical and simplistic manner. MELP Culture strives to elevate the entire office ambiance on a single platform, users will be allowed to engage in activities as peaceful as meditations and as fun as jamming sessions with fellow colleagues. This will help to simulate an office like culture and will help normalize work from home. MELP Cares, although a digital well-being service it is more like that office colleague who always looks out for you. It assigns you an avatar, which calculates your screen time and tells you to de-stress accordingly. When an employee is feeling down he/she can also talk to a MELP Cheerleader, who are professional therapists available 24/7.
