Build a Mental Health Therapy Platform (Video Consultations + Chat)

Access to mental health services is often hindered by location, cost, stigma, and long waiting times. Building an online therapy platform with video consultations and secure chats ensures easier access to therapists, improves mental wellness, and supports continuous care remotely.

Users can register, browse certified therapists, book appointments, attend secure video therapy sessions, and follow up via private chats. Therapists manage schedules, session notes, and client communications through a dedicated portal. All communications are encrypted for confidentiality and HIPAA compliance if required.

Patients register, create a profile, browse available therapists, and book video sessions. Secure chat features allow sharing concerns, updates, and appointment rescheduling. Therapists manage bookings, video consultations, and therapy notes within their professional dashboards.

• Patients sign up, fill mental health screening forms (optional), and browse therapist listings.
• Book available slots for video therapy sessions with online payment options (optional).
• Attend video calls through the platform using integrated WebRTC technology.
• Secure chats allow ongoing communication between patients and therapists post-session.
• Therapists manage appointments, session notes, invoices, and analytics dashboards securely.
