👏 Product Manager at IBM — Emoti-Con Judge

Congratulations on a well-documented and thoughtful product development process. From initial ideation to market research, to iterative designing based on user feedback, all the way to your final Figma prototype - your journey is inspiring! The user journey map and interaction flow chart are excellent additions to your presentation and show a deep understanding of your user's needs.

Your focus on addressing mental health challenges is highly commendable. This is a vital area that needs more attention, and your thoughtful approach to it is heartening to see.

Moving forward, consider a more detailed competitive analysis. The mental health app space is a crowded one, so a specific understanding of what makes your app different will be crucial in its success.

Finally, a brief video walkthrough of your concept could help others better understand your intentions and the desired impact of your concept. This could also be a great opportunity for you to further showcase your passion and expertise.

I really like the concept, the sleek, modern design, and the brand name. I can tell that a lot of work went into this project such as research and surveying your peers. One of the last slides highlighted accessibility which was a HUGE plus!

I think you should put more consideration into safety. I thinking the chat feature can be super helpful and will give people a sense of connection. However, since you're working with young people, some of them minors, you might have people question you about the safety around this and how you will monitor these chats. You're still early in your process so there is plenty of time to think about it but I believe this is a question you will receive a lot. At my organization, CareerVillage, we facilitate conversations between students and professionals. We ensure safety by having a volunteer team of moderators who review ALL content. Something similar could be the solution for you.
