Design Process
Phase 1: Empathize
Research Background
Research revealed that prolonged isolation increased stress and anxiety levels across demographics. The study identified that stress, anxiety, and depression often stem from ongoing cycles of negative thoughts, which directly influence physical feelings, emotions, and behavioral patterns.
Key research findings indicated that:
Good mental health techniques can break negative thought cycles
Understanding personal life balance helps identify areas needing improvement
Positive mental health enables more efficient stress management
Competitor Analysis
The mental health app market analysis revealed several key insights:
App | Meditation | Self Help | Tasks/Journal | Therapist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Headspace | ✓ | ✓ | ||
Calm | ✓ | |||
Mindvalley | ✓ | ✓ | ||
Simple Habit | ✓ | ✓ | ||
Wysa | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Market Gap Identified: Most existing apps focus on single aspects of mental health (meditation, sleep, productivity) and many require premium subscriptions for content access. There was a clear opportunity for a comprehensive, accessible platform.
