Mycaringpal

Mycaringpal is a new 1-to-1 caring app that helps/encourages anorexic patients to have a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and controlled exercise like a personal mentor or trainer. In addition, it can be a cycle of mentoring program for eating disorder people each others because the assigned mentors were also anorexic patient, who had same experiences in the past as their mentees so that they can understand their situations and can be the best mentor for them.

Approach

Losing or gaining weight is always an outstanding topic for people. Even I have tried so many different diet programs in order to loose my weight and have seen so many friends who are eager to loose weight. I have seen a few friends who eventually became to have eating disorder because of an obsession - just not eating, but exercising. And, I have seen an article about anorexic patients/ eating disorder people have a tendency to do over-exercising because they don’t know their limit and can’t control. From my experience and several articles, I thought what if there’s a service or product that can help the people more friendly (not like a doctor) and truly understanding and feel them.
