As one of the design project of the UX/UI design bootcamp, we were challenged to create wellness solutions across various domains, including physical wellness, nutritional wellness, and mental wellness. The ultimate output should encompass a user profile, goal and progress tracking, system feedback, and strict adherence to GDPR guidelines.
My teammate Corrine and I, both passionate about mental wellness, recognized the proven benefits of mindfulness. Acknowledging that many individuals with mental health issues tend to avoid mindfulness, we aimed to create a pioneering Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a mental wellness app with an inventive approach to well-being.
We crafted a user experience catering to every level, including those skeptical about the benefits of mindfulness.
Comprehensive research and iterative design processes ensured a deep and intuitive user experience

for every level
The project culminated in a user-centered platform offering personalized features such as goal settings, step-by-step mindfulness sessions, and mood analysis through a personal dashboard, derived from extensive user interviews, providing a holistic solution for stress reduction and anxiety management with built-in progress tracking
Solution
Defining Value
Rooted in user patterns from interviews, we've developed a user-centric concept with impactful UX solutions. This is supported by scientific facts for those who are skeptical and includes a gradual introduction for those new to the mindfulness world.
