Context

Sora is a week-long case competition project developed by individuals passionate about mental health awareness.

Our team split into Design, Marketing, HR, Finance, Competitive Analysis, and Business Development committees to create a well-rounded pitch to our stakeholders.

The Task

Develop a mock mobile application about
mental health resources.

Demand for therapy and mental resources rising since COVID-19

We began our research process with journal articles and books on mental health and the rise for more resources.

Tell me the stats...

WHy is this important?

40% of students reported experiencing depression, and this number is only on the rise

20.6% of American Adults suffer from mental illness. 

1 of 8 from this group received proper treatment

49.9% of American Adults ages 18-24 reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorders

Demand FOR Therapy & Telehealth

Between 2018 and 2021, the number of American adults getting outpatient talk therapy grew from 6.5% to 8.5%.

Psychologists reported high demand for treatment for anxiety disorders (79%), depressive disorders (66%), and trauma-related disorders (64%) since the pandemic.

What real people are saying...

Where do you find mental health resources? How was that experience?

"I just want one place, where I can get the help I need. There are many steps and waiting involved..."

"I have trouble booking appointments with campus therapists because they are all booked for months."

How do you destress?

"Talking things out with someone always makes me feel better..."

"My therapist taught me to take deep breathes and it always works..."

"I play games on my phone to distract me from what is happening."
