Abstract: The present invention discloses a privacy-preserving mental health monitoring system configured to assess, analyze, and support user wellbeing through an integrated digital architecture. The system combines questionnaire-based assessment, real-time facial emotion detection, conversational assistance, and federated learning for adaptive model improvement. A client-side module collects self-reported mental health responses and performs local emotion detection using device-based processing without transmitting raw visual data. A backend server processes derived indicators, generates a contextual wellbeing profile, and facilitates interaction with a conversational engine. The system employs federated learning to update predictive models through aggregation of distributed parameter updates instead of centralized data collection. A storage layer maintains user records, interaction logs, and model metadata. The architecture ensures confidentiality of sensitive inputs while enabling continuous learning and personalized interaction. The invention supports scalable deployment across distributed client devices while maintaining data privacy, security, and system adaptability.
