The User-Centred Design Journey

Why?

For most individuals, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significate decline in their mental health, whether they had issues or diagnoses beforehand or not. Fast forward a couple of years, and many are still struggling to adjust to a life post-pandemic with the changes that followed. The mental health of many have suffered enormously, and those individuals are now left to heal and adapt to post-pandemic life.

What?

This mobile service is a tool for people who struggle with mental health issues, as well as staying on track with their daily activities. This application includes features such as daily reminders, note-taking, and digital journaling, while still catering to those who suffer from mental health issues. For instance, the service will feature reminders about mundane tasks that help individuals with their daily routines, including brushing their teeth, changing their clothes, eating meals, and having proper bedtimes.

For Whom?

One of the biggest changes post-pandemic is the newly adopted online civilization - meaning that most routine amenities (school, work, therapy, and other forms of interaction) have been transitioned into some sort of an online form. The world learned how to adjust to these methods of interaction and communication. This means that our audience will be comfortable with navigating and utilizing this online resource. Users are well-versed in using digital systems that help with day-to-day activities, such as Calander apps and note-taking apps.

Our user's biggest limitation, which makes our system's usage important, is mental health issues. This includes anxiety, depression, and the overall drive to stay healthy and productive. A strong daily routine and some form of accountability for those daily tasks are proven to improve mental health and functionality.
