healthU by team lucky buns^3

Inspiration

healthU was inspired from our experiences of trying to find an all- in- one customizable and personal mental health resource that allows us to easily help us in making notes and observations of our mental health and contact health professionals when we need to in our day to day lives as students.

What it does

Our app is a tracker app where users can note down and keep track of their mental health through the use of a mood and symptom tracker, along with reminders to take any daily medication(s) the user may have. It also lets the user search for nearby hospitals and clinics from their current location and lets them book appointments. There is also a messaging feature for the user to ask any quick questions they may have to a medical professional.

How we built it

We first brainstormed together and tried narrowing down what problems we can tackle and our solutions to them, which gave us insight in what we were able to create. Through our brainstorm and discussions together, we were able to build healthU by using Figma to design and create the screens and features of the app together while working through our high and low fidelity iterations of our app.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges we ran into throughout this project was thinking of a quick and easy ways users can record their mental health on a daily basis without making the task too complicated or unmotivating.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The visuals included within the trackers such as the calendar, the emojis in the mood tracker, and chart in the symptom tracker that allow the user to input their information in a visually interesting way are accomplishments that we are proud of.

What we learned

Through this project, we all learned about user centered design and how we have to consider balancing the UI to make sure all the elements within it are useful to the user in some way without creating unnavigable, cluttered interface.
