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.
love the idea of an interactive bus shelter - bus shelters are so boring! i think the idea of a touch screen is great, as it is easily accessible and usable for all demographics! maybe making the roof steeped might be better for water drainage
ReplyDeleteI like how you turned bus shelter into a future-proofed product. You integrated digital screens that will keep the passengers assured and occupied while waiting for the bus to arrive. Perhaps you can choose a different color pallete that is lighter for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteNice concept here, a bus stop is great product to be associated with mental well being because it is form of a shelter that gathers people from different backgrounds together. for better understanding, I would like to see from your posters what kind of possible interactions that could lift people's mood and how people can play around with it. Maybe you can narrow it down to one great idea and then expand the system map from that.
