Challenge
Many mental health apps overwhelm users with fragmented resources, inconsistent design, or lack of personalization. Users often feel disengaged, struggling to maintain consistent habits, leading to low retention and limited impact on emotional well-being.
Objective
Kokoro was designed to provide a personalized and calming mental wellness journey. By combining mood tracking, guided meditations, AI-powered chat support, sleep sounds, and daily journals, the app aimed to create a seamless, engaging experience. The integration of badges, rewards, and progress insights encouraged habit formation while making mental wellness approachable for all users.
Results
Through iterative design and user testing, Kokoro streamlined onboarding and improved clarity of key features. The responsive auto-layout system ensured adaptability across devices, reducing friction in navigation. Prototype testing showed higher task completion rates (+30%) and stronger user satisfaction (+25%), with participants highlighting the AI companion and mood tracking as the most motivating features.
