The Task

Develop a mock mobile application about mental health resources.

Context

Sora is a week-long project developed for a business case competition.

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

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...

40%

of students reported experiencing depression

20.6% of American Adults suffer from mental illness.

1 of 8 from this group received proper treatment

49%

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

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

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

What real people are saying...

What's your experience with finding mental health resources?

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

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

How Do you destress?

"My therapist taught me to take deep breaths, and it always works"

"I play games on my phone to distract me from what's happening"

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