Mindtra - Meditation App

Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness or focusing their mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness and achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm, and stable state. Meditation reduces stress-related conditions such as anxiety, depression, heart conditions, and many more benefits if practiced correctly. When we meditate, the brain and nervous system undergo radical changes that reduce and prevent these conditions. 

The Third Industrial Revolution, which began around the 1980s, changed our world perspective. We became career-focused individuals. Yet, The Fourth Industrial Revolution has to come as early as 2030. Many of us were growing into a busy lifestyle and encouraged to do a busy lifestyle without having enough time for ourselves. We have developed technology to help us connect and reach as far as possible, but somehow, we have made our lives so busy that we no longer have time for ourselves. Self-observation is the key to happiness. Knowing and understanding what we want is the most important aspect of anyone's life. We are not here to work all the time. We are here on this earth to connect to our best selves. Build our best selves. A career or a job is a way of making money, which is not a purpose in life, and this is why depression is more common in elders and in Western countries vs. Eastern cultures, where the focus is on self more than other cultures.

We are not against technology or a career that lasts you a lifetime and makes you money. We are focusing on combining technology and our understanding of human behaviors to build and create a systematic app to guide you through creating and building new habits based on your personality.

There are so many Meditation apps on the market, making the UX process a lot more fun and challenging. I accepted this challenge. For our competitor analysis, we chose 3 apps that have good interfaces as well as good UX. The best part of this process is that we can understand the strengths and weaknesses of our competitors, see room for improvement, and learn from them.

We set up an online survey to understand user needs and to build our concept. We collected data through surveys and questionnaires about 100 people using in-person and online methods to gather data about why they use such an app on their phone, how they like it, and so on. I have attached the actual survey link that we have created.
