This project was started out from scratch by the author. During the initial phase of the project, the emphasis was placed on the understanding of panic attacks. The knowledge gain from the studies was used to plan on how to apply to the application. The second phase of the project was to implement a design for the Android application and making the application as interactive as possible. |
