Designing Smart Diary and Distraction Tasks to Manage Panic Attacks

Our project aims to create a panic diary that not only records panic attacks but also serves as a journal for applying breathing exercises, mindfulness and distraction techniques, and reviewing existing diaries. Anxiety problems are becoming increasingly common in our fast-paced world, which can significantly impact quality of life. The exercises included in the application are designed to help manage stress. The program is accessible to all Android phone users as panic attacks can affect anyone, regardless of gender or age. This application was developed using the Java programming language in Android Studio. During the development process, we consulted with individuals who have anxiety disorders, as well as psychiatrists. The application was tested by people who suffer from panic attacks using the System Usability Scale.
