Patient 1

I have a pill organizer, but I still miss doses. I struggle to stick to a schedule and wish someone could remind me every time.

Patient 2

When I have a panic attack, I’m left to wait it out, wishing I had help immediately. By the time I see my doctor, it’s hard to communicate since so much time has passed.

Caregiver

I want to help, but managing everything and constantly reminding the patient about their medication becomes overwhelming for both of us.

Doctor

We manually call patients to keep tabs, but it's inefficient, and there’s no better solution currently available.

Design Opportunity

Medication Managment

Ensure a seamless patient experience by simplifying medication reminders and access.

Therapy

Just as we empty our stomachs daily for new nourishment, we must clear our minds to handle new challenges—appointments can't always wait.

Bridging the Gap: A Journey to Address the Mental Health Crisis

1. Activating the device.

The product, inspired by the shape of the head, symbolizes energy exchange. Activating it helps users release negative energy and absorb positive energy.

2. Medication adherence.

The user takes the medicine and begins to unwind, letting go of the day’s emotions.

3. HEAL helps the patient unwind.

It helps patients open up, identify patterns, and share their experiences, either through conversation or writing.

4. Providing Guidance When Therapists Can't.

It guides patients on how to navigate their emotions and release them through breathwork, ultimately helping them find peace and achieve deep sleep.

5. Backend of therapy.

After each session, the doctor creates a personalized framework to help the patient regain control using the device for healthier mental health.
