Sprout Mental Health UI / UX Design

In recent years, the digital landscape has been flooded with an overwhelming number of mental health apps, aiming to provide support and solutions for individuals seeking help. While the proliferation of these apps signifies growing awareness and destigmatization of mental health issues, it has also led to an over-saturation in the market. With countless options available, users may find it challenging to identify the most effective and trustworthy apps, leading to potential confusion and frustration. Additionally, the quality and reliability of some apps may be questionable, posing potential risks to users' mental well-being. As mental health is a complex and sensitive matter, it is crucial for users to exercise caution and consult professionals when seeking help, ensuring that the apps they choose align with their specific needs and concerns.

Sprout is a mental health app with the addition of a real-life plant that mimics the plant avatar given on the app. Once downloaded, sprout will randomly select a plant, that is sent to the user's address to look after should they opt for this option. Sprout features a daily check-in feature which allows the user to log how they are feeling to their plant avatar; depending on the users response, sprout will take them through a reflection of positive memories they have previously logged. Sprout also has guided meditations that aim to tackle multiple stressors.
