Joyi: Stress Management for Teens

Problem: Teens often face anxiety that affects their well-being but isn’t clinically diagnosable. Existing solutions lacked the engagement needed to keep them motivated to manage stress effectively. A more personalized, engaging approach was needed.

Little Joys Agenda

Problem:
There is a need for a mobile app that incorporates healthy, positive activities into daily life in an engaging way, rather than feeling like another personal development task.

Mental Healthflix

Problem:
Traditional methods of teaching mental health education often fail to engage youth, making it difficult to incorporate learning into their daily lives in a way that feels enjoyable and entertaining.

Solution:
We developed a subscription-based platform, similar to Netflix, designed to make mental health education as engaging as popular entertainment. The platform offers a diverse collection of content, including movies, animations, music, podcasts, books, poems, social media shorts, workbooks, and activities. Unlike traditional platforms, our categories are based on mental health topics such as goal setting, breakups, burnout, and decision-making, ensuring that users can find relevant content tailored to their specific needs.

Our Contribution:

  • Ideation: Conducted extensive research and brainstorming to create an innovative approach to mental health education.
  • Design: Developed an intuitive UI and UX to make the platform user-friendly and visually appealing.
