Project information

  • Category: Mobile Application
  • Client: NHS
  • Project date: 2017

The NHS Mental Health Application was developed as a product to help those that where going from the a mental health hospital back into the community. Its focus was on helping support people that might have issues with performing daily tasks that many of us take for granted.

The idea was to use the addictive nature of mobile games in a positive mannor, the application had a suite of games for the users to play, but rather than asking for real money for level packs, new character skins etc, it had an in app currency that the users earned by doing tasks that where self set, things like going shopping, cleaning or taking a bath, it was designed so the user could decide what they wanted these tasks to be, they where also rewarded for filling in a mood diary that would help there medical support see any issues they might be having.

The application was developed with the support of North Staffs NHS trust who originally commisssioned the project.
