My Therapist By Brandon and Hajar

About this Project:

My therapist app is an app specific towards the mental well-being of our costumers.
With many buttons specific for any needs, we have ways you can remotely contact,
talk and set up schedules for your therapist and you to talk. We have an “SOS” button specific for anyone with a suicidal ideation, which will give a quick therapist call and/or a speed dial for emergency services. We created this app to help draw awareness to mental health as many see mental health as less than physical health and try to gaslight themselves into thinking they don't need help because they're just being dramatic and there are others going through way worse or they will be judged and seen as less valuable if people are able to find out the problems they are struggling with internally. so we want everyone to be able to receive the help they need and know that they are enough and that their problems aren't less than anyone else's problems. Because we care!

Feedback from the Judges:

👏 Product Manager at IBM — Emoti-Con Judge
Your focus on addressing mental health challenges and the importance of seeking help is both crucial and commendable. We can clearly see your passion in the description and slides you've provided.

As you continue to refine your presentation, you may want to consider reducing the amount of text in your second and third slides. Incorporating more digestible graphic content, such as charts, graphs, images, videos, or even interactive clickable prototypes, could help to engage your audience more effectively.

Additionally, it's essential to highlight how your concept stands out from the many mental health applications and platforms already on the market. By articulating this, you can clearly communicate the unique value your concept brings.

Your presentation is well designed and thoughtful! You might not be aware of other apps out there for mental health, but if you can do some research to see how yours might offer something different. Maybe yours is just focused towards high school or college aged students? Maybe there is an aspect that incorporates finding group counseling or free support groups in their geographic region? The SOS button is a great idea for immediate help, and the hierarchy of the design on that page supports it well.

Thank you for your support! Comments are closed for this year. Join us to look forward to next year's projects!
