Facets Wellness App
Projects | | Links: Website | Journal Demo | Feedback Demo
Facets started as a feedback app for dating and evolved into a mental health activity application.
Why mental health?
Post-pandemic years have shown increased stress and anxiousness in youth and adults alike. Awareness of mental health has been rapidly growing. Finding ways to reflect on our daily journeys helps build meaningful relationships and long-term partnerships, develop trust, and lead a stable life overall.
Objective
Building awareness is a challenging task. Just take one step at a time. From getting feedback to accentuate your superpowers to completing small activities that clarify your core values, Facets promotes micro journaling paired with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to remind users to be present, reflect on their goals and habits, and make choices that align with their values.
Award winning project
Entrepreneurship takes work. We started as a dating app, but through user research and product fit testing, we focused on what people need: mental wellness. In our journey, we started building an iOS app but realized we needed to work much faster! So, we focused on web development for our prototypes. To motivate our work, we joined multiple curated hackathons with objectives aligned with our goals. We participated in three and won them all!
Our Facets team is grateful for the opportunity to show that our ideas have a place in the world, and we continue to work (now as a hobby) to further their development. In our journey, we’ve promoted inclusion, looking to support other women interested in STEM fields.
Tech stack
This app and related subapps were built using NextJS, TypeScript, Python, Jupiter Notebook, Segment, and Mixpanel.
