EF 2023-24 · 2023-08-01

Résumé
PeerX.AI understands how powerful peer support is at eradicating mental health stigma and promoting mental wellness. The firm is building a platform to leverage the potential of human connection and using AI to make peer support more scalable and effective as a pro-active treatment for mental wellness. However, the utilization of digital mental health resources is low, with 90% of people stopping using such apps after just 7 days. To address this challenge, PeerX must be diligent in ensuring an excellent user experience (UX) to engage people on the platform to benefit from peer support. This project will focus on iterating the UX through a continuous loop of end-user testing, UX story creation, and technical implementation.

Description (French)
PeerX.AI comprend à quel point le soutien par les pairs est puissant pour éradiquer la stigmatisation de la santé mentale et promouvoir le mieux-être mental. L’entreprise construit une plateforme pour exploiter le potentiel de la connexion humaine et utiliser l’IA pour rendre le soutien par les pairs plus évolutif et plus efficace en tant que traitement proactif du mieux-être mental. Cependant, l’utilisation des ressources numériques en matière de santé mentale est faible, 90 % des personnes cessant d’utiliser ces applications après seulement 7 jours. Pour relever ce défi, PeerX doit être diligent pour assurer une excellente expérience utilisateur (UX) afin d’engager les gens sur la plateforme pour bénéficier du soutien des pairs. Ce projet se concentrera sur l’itération de l’UX à travers une boucle continue de tests pour les utilisateurs finaux, la création d’histoires UX et la mise en œuvre technique.
