Development of a computer model of an automated psychologist's workplace

Abstract

Nowadays, the field of web application development for psychologists and social workers is not sufficiently developed by IT specialists. This is due to the fact that in the period before the COVID-19 pandemic, psychologists had enough personal communication to provide assistance or advice to clients. After the introduction of quarantine norms, the work of psychologists became much more complicated, as a number of restrictions were imposed. At the same time, the need for counseling patients with mental and other illnesses is not decreasing. Demand is growing among those people who have not been so active in psychologists before - the situation encourages them to take care of their health. This problem is solved by programmers of different directions. The task was to develop a web application that could give a psychologist the opportunity to conduct online video conferencing using the necessary tools for online interaction with the patient, based on the original software solution. An online game "Metaphorical Associative Cards" was developed on the basis of the developed web service. No special skills are required to work in this application, and the interface is simple and clear to any user. The user has access to the following pages: the main page should contain information about the website, its news and other information; the course page contains a list of available psychological games that help the psychologist to establish close contact with the client, even online; personal account is a page where you can view and edit personal information of the user; registration, login or password recovery page. This application is already used by psychologists in test mode. In the future, the tools of a psychologist will be expanded and the main page will be developed, where information about psychologists and their articles will be published.
