MoodBoard Pro

MoodBoard Pro is an evidence-based mental health tracking platform built with IBM Bob AI. It features a dual-interface system for both clients and therapists, backed by 28 peer-reviewed citations from top journals including JAMA, The Lancet, and JMIR. The problem: 78% of therapists want digital tools for between-session monitoring, but only 2% of mental health apps support them. Existing apps are consumer-only, inaccessible, and ignore clinical research entirely. Our solution addresses this gap with: • Visual mood tracking — proven 23% more effective than text-only (Kauer et al., 2012) • Therapist dashboard — multi-client view with mood trend analysis and pattern detection • WCAG 2.1 AAA accessibility — 96.8% of health sites fail this standard; we pass it • HIPAA-compliant architecture — AES-256 encryption, audit logging, BAA-ready • Evidence-based design — every feature maps directly to peer-reviewed research IBM Bob was used throughout the entire development process — from research compilation and architecture decisions to component design, accessibility implementation, and documentation. Bob accelerated what would normally take weeks into a single focused build. The platform is built on Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, deployed on Vercel, and is ready for IBM Watsonx MCP integration for AI-powered mood insights and sentiment analysis. With 57.8M U.S. adults experiencing mental illness and the digital mental health market projected at $17.5B by 2030, MoodBoard Pro targets a real, underserved gap — the professional clinical market that consumer apps have ignored.
