ClearMind
Through my Moonshot mentorship, my team and I designed a solution for cognitive overload and encouraging positive mental health.
Overview
In our modern society, people are mentally overbooked. It’s difficult to jot down one’s thoughts, frustrations , or ideas on the fly with how busy and face paced the world is. HMW help young adult professionals and creatives organize and track their thoughts, ideas, and sentiments, while not interfering with their existing busy schedules?
A multi-input note taking application aimed at reducing cognitive load.
Users are busy with their lives, how can we begin to take better care of ourselves?
Easing our cognitive load.
Based off our research, we wanted to make sure we create a quicker way to jot thoughts. We decided to include a hands-free way of inputting notes by recording voice memos and adding a picture/video option. This offers a way for users to empty their thoughts when they are on the go.
Sketches
This is ClearMind.
Our proposed solution was to create an application that allows users to jot their thoughts instantly. It will be the easiest way to vent, set reminders, and journal. Users will have multiple ways to input their thoughts without having to physically write it on paper.
Reflection
Through this project, I learned about the mental health space and how important it is to back your solutions with research. I had an incredible time working with my team and really enjoyed collaborating with others to create a solution that could positively impact mental health. If we had more time, I would love to conduct some more research that could reach a more general audience. I would also like to conduct usability testings to see if people who do not currently journal would use this app.
