Abstract: Emotional health has become an important concern in today’s fast-paced lifestyle, where individuals face continuous academic, professional, and social pressures. Many people hesitate to share their emotional struggles due to fear of being judged or due to limited access to immediate support. This paper presents WEHEAL, an AI-powered emotion-aware chatbot developed to provide a safe and private environment for emotional expression and self-reflection.
The WEHEAL system applies Natural Language Processing techniques to analyze user text and identify emotional states such as stress, sadness, anxiety, anger, and happiness. Based on the identified emotion, the chatbot generates empathetic and context-sensitive responses. In addition to conversational support, the system includes mood tracking, journaling, daily reflection prompts, wellness exercises, and emotional analytics. The application is implemented using Python and Streamlit, with all user data stored locally in JSON format to ensure privacy and offline usability. The results indicate that WEHEAL effectively promotes emotional awareness and provides meaningful support, highlighting the potential of AI-based wellness applications.
