Problem Statement and Introduction

There’s real science that gratitude journals contribute to both our physical wellbeing and mental health. Gratify is a mobile application designed to cultivate a habit of gratitude and mindfulness in our daily lives. It does so by asking a user to rate how fulfilled they felt each day, how happy they felt each day, and a list of 3 things said user is grateful for thad day. The app will then have a month-long calendar graphic that will show the users “happiness” throughout that month, represented by different colors. This calendar graphic won’t be a calendar in the traditional sense—think a circular, futuristic graphic that displays the user’s happiness ratings across that month, with different colors on that graphic representing the user’s different moods throughout that month. The app will have a monthly report, a quarterly report, and a yearly report detailing the user’s happiness, and will integrate a GPT that takes in what users were grateful for throughout the entire period, and will summarize highlights/trends in what the user felt during that time.

A lot of Penn culture focuses on getting things done—and we don’t usually have the time to stop and reflect on why we are doing some things, and what we feel from our daily experiences. We want to encourage users to stop, and reflect on their lives, to help them find more fulfillment in their everyday life.
