Problem
Supporting mental well-being in high-pressure environments is difficult.
Supporting mental well-being in high-pressure environments is difficult.
Uniformed personnel serving under the United Nations are often exposed to prolonged stress and trauma. Accessing support is not always straightforward. There are concerns around privacy, stigma, and limited availability of trusted resources make it difficult to seek help openly. Over time, this can lead to reduced well-being, fatigue, and a sense of isolation.

Solution
A private and accessible way to manage mental well-being.
A private and accessible way to manage mental well-being.
I designed a mobile app that enables personnel to reflect on their mental state through guided evaluations, track key indicators such as sleep, and access resources tailored to their needs. The evaluations were developed in collaboration with psychologists from the UN team to ensure they are clinically relevant yet easy to engage with. Security was a key consideration — NFC-based authentication was integrated to protect sensitive data.
The experience focuses on clarity and ease of use, encouraging regular engagement while balancing confidentiality, accessibility, and usability.
