USM PENANG, 26 January 2026 – Innozilla 2025 gold medallist M-RSPD shares their application to the masses at Pameran Majlis Perutusan Naib Canselor 2026, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).

The innovative application was brought forth under the School of Educational Studies (PPIP), USM, by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nor Shafrin Ahmad, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aziah Ismail, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rahimi Che Aman.

M-RSPD is an interactive platform that allows users to self-assess crisis intensity and identify physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioural symptoms.

Having the above objective, it enhances early psychological support through interactive, user-friendly technology.

By utilising the RSPD model, which stands for Rapport, Assessment, Support and Coping, the application helps users build psychological resilience through self-support resources, including relaxation videos and interactive sessions, while also serving as a training tool for trainee counsellors and educators.

Nurul Amirah Mohd Shokri, a representative for M-RSPD at the exhibition, shared that the reason behind the apps is the importance of emotional management and mental health.

“When someone goes through a crisis in their life, most people do not know how to handle such problems; M-RSPD can not only provide anonymous access to counsellors at any time for guidance but also evaluate the level of crisis the person is facing,” added Amirah.

Overall, M-RSPD exhibits the harmonious mix of technology and emotions alongside USM’s boundary-pushing innovation.
