insights:

• There are not many sophisticated mental wellness app for kids in Canada
‍
• The app needs to have interactive element to engage with user
‍
• Slightly over half of the researched apps on the market offer little to no engagement on the app itself

App Concept Development

To Educate

Bringing the original MAYN online education module into the app

Tool for Everyday

The app becomes a daily stress or anxiety management tool

Integrate Learnings & Tools

Seamlessly fusing the education module with coping tools

Other than workshops, we also decided we could turn our existing online education platform into an app interface. The main purpose of the app would be to educate along with an additional feature of becoming a daily stress and anxiety management tool for children. Our goal is seamlessly integrating these two elements together.

App Mockups

Using insights gathered from competitive app research, I drafted concepts for the elements of the app and how we can integrate MAYN's existing education modules. It was also my task to brainstorm how to translate these concepts into an app interface and creating an approachable everyday tool for mental health.
