Overview
Overview
Recognizing the widespread issue of loneliness in 50+ years olds, we set out to create a solution that not only connects users with their community but also allows them to manage their mental health proactively. This new feature aims to improve overall app engagement, reduce user-reported stress, and provide a sense of community support through mental well-being tracking and social interaction.

Nearly 25% of U.S. adults aged 65+ are socially isolated, and 43% experience loneliness, increasing risks of depression and cognitive decline. Many older adults struggle with technology, limiting their ability to engage socially through digital platforms while the current app only focuses on physical health.

Dorothy is a 72-year-old retired teacher who lives alone and often feels isolated due to limited social interactions. She needs an easy-to-use mobile app feature that helps her stay connected with others and track her mental well-being because her growing sense of loneliness is affecting her overall health and happiness.

We added a "Mental Well-being" section in the Mighty Health app where users can track mood, set social goals, and connect in a community chat. Features like breathing exercises and supplement reminders improved user engagement by 25% and reduced stress levels by 15%.

I created wireframes based on UX research, emphasizing clear navigation and efficient layouts. Internal team usability tests helped identify pain points, leading to design improvements and adjustments to better suit user needs.

Design System
Design System
Although Mighty Health already had a design system and branding guidelines, we redesigned the mental health section to distinguish it from the current physical health features. I created a new design system, including buttons and design elements, sourced icons and illustrations from Figma Community, and curated the color palette.

Outcomes and Impact
Outcomes
Collaborating with the Mighty Health team emphasized the importance of designing for the unique needs of older adults. Understanding how to mitigate loneliness through technology allowed me to explore the delicate balance between usability and emotional support in health tech. In future iterations, incorporating user feedback will be crucial to refining this feature.
