INTERVENTION

Designing interactive interfaces in an Inclusive Human centric design process, alongside therapists and with constant iterations in 'live' testing with patients. The user interface is developed to cater for diverse and unique cognitive models across a wide demographic. In that context we are aim to:

• Provide digital & haptic interfaces alongside cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to empower both therapist and patients.
• Help patients to hang on to the benefits of the sessions using visual, audio & haptic interactions to allow patients to record/monitor their thoughts outside sessions.
• Promote healthy thinking habits through habitual, engaging and calming interactions.
• Develop innovative interactions through visualisation, digital interaction tools, animation, gaming and wearable tech.
