HUE is a mental health app concept designed around color therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy concepts. The app is designed for novice users, interested in mental health, who want to learn more about CBT in a safe, fun environment. The app concept uses AI generated, crowd sourced art from the userbase to create "mood paintings" each day from the individual color inputs from hundreds. The app also takes users through a guided thought record, adding more visual elements based on our research into pain points within the current systems.
RESEARCH
Research was done to identify pain points during each part of the thought record experience. This helped to create graphs of where people were having difficulty understanding the prompts, or were losing interest in the process.
A comprehensive site map was built, with connections to where users would be directed. We did not want the app to be a replacement for real therapy, and so certain trigger words, indicative of a more severe mental issue, would refer users to outside help.
