The document provides inspiration for designing a digital tool to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of being overworked or lonely. It discusses challenges such as serving a diverse population where moods fluctuate. Existing expression, tracking, and data aggregation tools are reviewed for inspiration. The goal is to help people manage issues rather than cure them by finding better coping strategies. An interactive digital approach is desired over static online content. Deeper understanding of how to help people cope better is needed by analyzing relationships between collected data points.
3. WHO?
People that feel stressed, anxiety, depression, overworked, lonely.
Often don’t want to talk about their problems.
4. DESIGN CHALLENGES
Population is very diverse. People aren’t depressed ‘ALL’ the time.
Feels like things just have to be the way they are.
5. HELPING PEOPLE TO COPE, NOT
CURE
No one can ‘cure’ depression. But you can learn to manage it or get better.
It’s about finding ways to cope better.
6. DIGITAL != INTERACTIVE
Currently, digital is a leaflet … online. Need to move on from this.
What does that look like? IM? Text? Facebook? Twitter?
7. WANT TO DIG DEEPER
