Lumo the Lama is a React Native application designed to provide an engaging and interactive experience for users. It aims to help people struggling with mental health to go out more, by recommending them green routes. Built with modern development practices, it aims to deliver a seamless and intuitive interface.

We’re living in a time where more people are feeling disconnected — not just from others, but from nature and themselves. According to the WHO, over 1 in 8 people globally now live with a mental health disorder. It is challenge to maintain a consistent mental health routine. Our mental also need some care like going outside, socializing, and finding like-minded individuals. Actually these are the activities keep our mental health strong. That's why we made a gamified mental care app. Tracking my streak for being out, and one day I haven't been out yet: Llama is sad.  It pushes me to make this lovely llama happy, and I go out. The moment my location is out of the house for a while, my llama will be happy.

And why, llamas, you may ask?

🌿 They love nature and open spaces

☀️ Sunlight energizes them

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 They are deeply social creatures — just like us.

🔁Surprisingly, llamas love routines.
