The solution

Students at Erasmus University were stressed, depressed and burnt out and Erasmus Univeristy wanted to implement a student wellbeing program which included and mobile tool for mental health.

The context

"In general, I feel less anxious, stressed, and helpless during my days and with my decisions. I think this due to my practising some exercises daily, others when I remind myself of them, actively seek them out in the app"

Our users say:

“I think it had a value in that stepping back, looking at your day, reflect on how I felt, and then that brings the sense of gratefulness with it - yeah, that was valuable to me”

Role: UX researcher, UX design and content design. Conducting research through interviews, focus groups, surveys, Field tests and co-design sessions. Analyzed and presented qualitative and quantitative data to guide design efforts. I designed interactions, prototyped, wireframes, designed content and tested existing designs for experience and effectiveness.

This was a typical, iterative human-centered-design process.

• Began with formative research on various stakeholder

• I triangulated insights of that research into several artefacts like personas, requirements and content maps to guide the process

• Then designs of different levels of fidelity were created, tested and refined until we had a fully functioning beta.

• ROOM is currently being scientifically tested, but it has already been proven to improve momentary mood and emotion regulation skills in its users.
