Safe Watch
Mental Wellness Companion
SafeWatch is a wellbeing companion app designed to promote mental wellness within a supportive community. The app fosters real connections and aims to enhance mental wellness without increasing screen time.
It provides a platform for family, friends, mental health practitioners, and employers to support individuals in their mental health journey. It allows tracking of client progress, medication, and activities, offering personalised care in clinical and workplace settings.
One of the key aspects of SafeWatch is to enable users to set up the concept of a "village" — people who "know you", "get you", and "help you".
In May 2021, Shane Muller, the founder of Safe Watch, approached CoSource with the vision of developing an app to be an early warning tool in suicide prevention.
There is a growing need for early detection of mental health issues and effective support tools.
Cross-platform framework with C# for native mobile and desktop apps
InterPlanetary File System for decentralised storage across networks
Integrated for encryption and security
The app is built using .NET MAUI, a cross-platform framework that allows for the development of native mobile and desktop applications using C#. This choice ensures a consistent user experience across different platforms while leveraging the robustness of the .NET ecosystem.
The backend utilises IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), a distributed system for storing and accessing files, websites, applications, and data. This decentralised approach enhances data security and availability.
Blockchain technology is integrated for encryption and security, ensuring that user data is protected and that users have control over their information.
