Aurora: um suporte aos estudantes universitários no cuidado da saúde emocional

Abstract

This article reports on the development of the project of a system for emotional health care, called Aurora. Focusing on creating a virtual, welcoming and safe environment for the university community, the Aurora aims to help the individual to identify and classify their emotions in addition to providing prophylactic or therapeutic guidelines in the field of mental health. For the construction of the project, user-centered design methodologies were used, in addition to Beck's Inventories for anxiety and depression. These inventories were adapted in order to relate the identified problems to the possibilities of achieving emotional well being.
