Interviews
When we worked on this project, we interviewed the potential users of the future product. Besides that, the client closely communicated with a practicing psychiatrist who actively recommended effective treatment methods for mental diseases.
Research
Our task here was to implement these methods on a mobile device, which turned out to be quite puzzling. In the MIndTales application, we have added such popular methods as emotional diary, Thoughts on trial, Core Belief, Focused Breathing, Body scan meditation, STOPP.
Exercises implementation
The next thing we did, we packaged all these exercises into several courses for a step-by-step walkthrough in order to provide a deeper user engagement. Moreover, the user has an opportunity to contact a therapist who specializes in a particular field and undergo a full consultation via video-, audio-call, or texting at any time.
