Mental health, particularly anxiety disorders, has been recognized as a significant global challenge, profoundly impacting the quality of life for individuals worldwide. Traditional barriers, such as geographical constraints and the inflexibility of mental health care, have hindered efforts to address these issues effectively. Therefore, in this study, an advanced mental health monitoring system incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been proposed to overcome these limitations. Specifically, this system integrates smart wristbands to collect sleep data from patients. The collected data is then visualized on both web and mobile platforms in real-time, enabling therapists to monitor progress and design appropriate treatment plans. Additionally, AI technology is utilized to analyze historical data, providing personalized recommendations for sleep schedules and predicting sleep quality for the upcoming week. This system offers tailored interventions for individual patients. It empowers them to actively participate in their mental health treatment actively, improving their overall well-being and fostering a healthier mindset.
