Revive is a mobile app used as a tool to assist the practice of mindfulness to those with limited time. The goal is to make your life more focus, productive and simple while on the go. This app provides the user with a variety of meditation sessions and exercised to help relieve stress and anxiety with a simple easy to navigate platform that is customized by AI. This is a passion project I began while completing my masters degree.
Research
Competitive Analysis
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults-- 18.1 percent of the population. They're highly treatable, yet only 36.9 percent of those suffering receive treatment. Revive is a new mobile app that aims to help users manage and reduce their anxiety.
To begin this project, I spent a few hours getting up to speed on anxiety-related apps and trends within the mental health space. The mental health space is incredibly competitive! The apps cover a broad variety of approaches and specializations. To help identify the market segment that most directly aligns with Revive's positioning, I conducted a competitive analysis. This gave me the opportunity to look for ways Revive might differentiate itself and provide unique value to users.
User Testing
In order to understand the user I created a questionnaire as a guide and interviewed nine people that matched the target audience for Revive. Based on the data collected, I articulated three main user personas and their journeys. User priorities and pain points were established as well to help with the creation of my personas.
User Priorities are:
User Pain Points are:
Exploration
Based on the user stories the app should be:
Trustworthy
Reliable
Usable
Based on the user needs some feature of the app includes:
To get a sense for the flow and user feedback I began with a wireframe.
Refinement
Feedback from the wireframes:
To get a sense for the flow and test experience an interactive prototype was created with the feedback from the wireframe and user goals in mind
The purpose of the prototype was to:
Revive provides the user with a variety of meditation sessions and exercised to help relieve stress and anxiety with a simple easy to navigate platform that is customized by AI. The option to find a mentor and browse as a guest are some key features to help the user reach their goals.Color and UI style:Shades of blues and purples are the main colors to bring a calm feel. A pop of orange is used to compliment and bring positive energy and joy to the design. Rounded shapes, symmetry, and repeated patterns to promote joy and exploration. The layout is kept simple to make it easy for the user to navigate.
