Guideline 3
Show contextually relevant information.


Advice, resources and communication strategy should be specifically relevant to the user's current mental state and situation, ensuring the support is both timely and applicable.

This guideline underscores the importance of tailoring advice, resources, and communication strategies to match the user's current mental state and situation. By doing so, the chatbot can provide support that is not only timely but also relevant and applicable to the user's needs.

Practical implementation involves leveraging user input, contextual cues, and data analytics to dynamically adjust the advice and resources offered by the chatbot. For example, if a user expresses feelings of anxiety, the chatbot may provide relaxation techniques or coping strategies tailored to alleviate anxiety symptoms. Similarly, if a user mentions experiencing loneliness, the chatbot may offer resources for social connection or support groups.

By aligning support with the user's current mental state and situation, the chatbot can enhance its effectiveness and impact, fostering a more personalized and meaningful user experience.
