Psychological Health Awareness Interactive Design

Finished the App Mock-up, Check it out!

First time usability test taken,

Result:

1. Test option buttons caused some confusion. The overlay of graphic and text is the main reason.

2. The down arrow in the result page is not a global button, but looks like one. Should move into the block.

3. The action "properties" icon is still too small to touch, so does the contact icons on the therapist page.

I finally met with my advisor, Dr Lindsay Schenkel from psychology department today. She likes my concept and designs and appreciated the works I did, but she pointed out that the questionnaire I used might be not validated. So the result might be not as accurate as the classic ones she gave me. But they could be used as screener tools for users, and the users could get more accurate test when they go to professionals.

She picked "Mood Watcher" as the name. "Feel Watcher" is not easy to understand like it.

Names based on "Feel":

Feell / Feelwell- help you feel well

Feel +

Feeal – feel + heal

Feel Better / Better feels

Feelness 

feel matters

Feely

Mood Watcher

iFeel

This night talked with a friend who used to have depression. She went to the doctor, took medications, and recovered.

"What do you think is the most important thing to get over with depression?"

"I think it's the changing of the way I think of things and myself."

"But how to change the thinking pattern? Just thinking? Or changing in participating some social activities?"

"You need both of thinking and activity. Depends on your current needs and situation."

I also talked about my design thoughts with a friend in the interactive design industry. I said I wanted to make 3 mobile apps. 1. One for test, and doctor information, 2. one for social and record, and 3.one for tips/information. She suggested that I combine 1 and 3 together, and later on she suggested I combine three into 1, let users post their status on their own page, make the doctors to communicate with the user positively. The users can also search for doctors/therapists.
