Project Overview

In our busy lives, stress and anxiety are common challenges. Unfortunately, many people hesitate to seek help due to costs, stigma, or simply not knowing where to turn. That's why there's a real need for a friendly, easy-to-use tool that provides mental health support whenever and wherever it's needed.

Identifying the Problem

Mental health tools often fall into two extremes: either too clinical and impersonal, or too vague and gamified. Users struggling with anxiety, burnout, or depressive episodes don’t want to navigate overwhelming menus or read blocks of generic content.

Through user interviews and competitive research, we found a clear gap: people wanted support that felt immediate, emotionally aware, and low effort to access—especially during tough moments.

Our challenge was to design a conversational experience that could offer empathy, guidance, and crisis resources without feeling robotic or heavy-handed.

Solution

ReMind is a mental health chatbot that provides personalized, on-demand support.

It combines empathy, accessibility, and actionable tools to help users manage emotions, build healthy habits, and feel supported throughout their mental health journey.

Key Features

➢ Mood tracking and Journaling

➢ Guided mindfulness exercise or breathing techniques

➢ Crisis resources (hotlines, emergency contacts)
personalized tips based on user input

User Persona

Alex Smith, 35

Marketing Manager

"I need something to help me unwind and stay focused without taking up too much time"

Bio Alex often faces high-pressure deadlines, long work hours, and the constant challenge of maintaining a healthy work life balance. He struggles with work related stress and burnout but finds it difficult to carve out time for traditional mental health resources like therapy. Alex is looking for a discreet, easy to use tool that can provide quick stress relief and actionable tips during his hectic workday. He wants something that helps him stay focused, unwind, and track his progress without adding to his already packed schedule.

Research Goals

Before diving into design, I wanted to deeply understand how people manage their mental health day-to-day, what they look for in emotional support tools, and how they react in moments of stress or crisis. My goal was to design Remind around real human needs—not assumptions.

Methods

To understand what people needed, I talked to 5 users who deal with stress or anxiety. I looked at other apps like Calm and Woebot to see what worked and what didn’t. I also did a quick Instagram poll asking what helps people feel better. This helped me learn what to focus on when designing reMind,

Key insights

People want help to feel easy and calm. When they’re anxious, they don’t want to read a lot or click through too many things. They just want quick options, like mood check-ins or breathing exercises. Crisis help should be easy to find, but not scary. I used these insights to make Remind feel soft, simple, and supportive.

How it helped

These insights directly informed every aspect of the experience. I kept language warm, interactions lightweight, and made sure the chatbot always offered users a soft, non-judgmental space—especially in difficult moments.
