PROJECT 2

Brief

Building well-being into everyday life | How can we embed preventative measures for mental health into our daily lives?

The brief asks to design a product or service that can help out mental well-being.

 Mental health is a major issue and is very common amongst everyone. About 45% of Australians had experienced some sort of mental issue.

 The mental health issues that I am targeting are the common mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety.  There are many preventative measures that people can take to improve their mental well-being.  A lot of these measures a quite simple, but effective, which include things like being active and generally being happy.

The design I have put forward answers this brief in a quick and simple way. The design is a bus shelter that features a large interactive touch screen. This touch screen will be an effective way for someone to improve their mental well-being. The touch screen interface will feature many things that a user can read or look at and will have the ability to enlighten and cheer them up. The touch screen will also feature all necessary information related to mental health and will also provide help-lines for people who need professional help.

The reason why I chose to feature this on a bus stop is for many reasons. The first reason is that bus shelters are really common and are easily accessible. Another reason is that the touch screen can also tell commuters all necessary bus information, which can reassure the user and give them peace-of-mind.
