A Human-Centered Approach for a Student Mental Health and Well-Being Mobile App: Protocol for Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The rising prevalence of mental health concerns among students is prompting universities to explore innovative solutions to support student well-being. This paper describes the protocol for the development, implementation, and evaluation of a mobile app designed to address the mental health and wellness needs of students. This project employs a student-centered approach, partnering with students from the initial needs analysis through to the final design and implementation stages.

Objective

The app aims to increase the use of campus resources that address student mental health and wellness by improving the awareness of these resources through user-designated preferences that are established on the initial use of the app and then iteratively refined as it is used.
