Whilst building the affinity map, it was evident that a needed feature of the product is a task list-based design and gamification to encourage users to add and complete more tasks to better their mental wellbeing.

A key idea for the wording on the “How are you feeling” screen came about from one of the participant interviews. When the user selects the neutral face, the question “That’s ok, what would you do differently tomorrow?” appears above the comments field. The interview helped shape the tone and language used for the app.

Ideation stages consisted of sketching ideas for the chosen key features using the crazy 8’s technique then I chose 1 or 2 features and produced further detailed sketches.
