Social media applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc., are widely used among society; each application has its own uses, differences and market share. According to official Jordanian statistics, WhatsApp is considered to be the most commonly used social media application by Jordanian people for creating, sharing and exchanging information. In this paper, we present a comprehensive preliminary study for the implementation of a national platform that contains information about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in Jordan using the WhatsApp to collect the information. This project will be a pilot study using a cross-sectional design to determine the potential of the proposed platform in usability and effectiveness as a prototype system. Moreover, it will be the first mental health application that addresses the needs of the Arabic culture and region. The project will be implemented in two phases: the first phase, which includes the design of the OCD-questionnaire and the collection of data using the WhatsApp application, the collected data will be stored to a database which is going to be the first OCD database of its kind. The second phase of the project involves the design of a mobile application that can help to diagnose cases and provide medical advice to help alleviate the symptoms of the OCD. The publicity of using WhatsApp application will help in covering different geographical areas and reaching a variety of people with maintaining their confidentiality.
