How might we create a software application encouraging students to breathe more often
Problem Statement
1. As a user, I need reminders about breathing to feel better.
2. As a user, I lack the motivation and capacity to seek opportunities as a student, so I need a way to help me accomplish this goal with ease.
3. As a user, I need a way to stay on the same platform when connecting with other college students to make feeling supported easier.

Moving Forward
REFLECTIONS
Next Steps-
- Inquire about how popular social media apps can integrate a feature that encourages mental wellness.
- Continue testing with users for more insights and data to reach success.
What I learned-
- Paper Prototyping low-fidelity wireframes is not the most effective way to get insights. Creating the prototype simulation on a digital platform would produce the best testing results/data from user feedback.
- A solid research plan requires a lot of time and resources.
- Creating an effective script before an interview will help build rapport and make the participant more comfortable answering questions.
