| Abstract |
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, suicide is the leading cause of death for Japanese people in their 20s. Although many university students have serious me...ntal health problems, they hesitate to consult psychiatrists and counselors. There are several reasons why young people end their lives without consulting anyone. The following are a few examples. (1) They do not pay attention to their own mental health ; (2) They do not know any consultation systems, including medical services ; and (3) They are embarrassed to consult with others about personal problems. In order to improve this situation, whereby university students seldom use consulting systems, we launched a new project “Experimental study for the improvement of mental health by use of a smartphone application at Kyushu University,” because smartphones are now an inextricable part of university students’ lives. In this article, we introduce the outline of this project, which includes the design of a smartphone application, and our future development plans.show more
