Skills I used

User Research
Psyrin is a startup developing a voice-based psychosis detection platform that enables patients with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder (SSD) or Bipolar Affective Disorder (BPAD) to complete assessments remotely; these assessments inform clinicians of the patient’s mental state so they can call them into the clinic when appropriate.
​
The following prototypes are part of the second iteration of my submission for the patient interface of Psyrin. It was done after 1 year in design school, where I learned more about UI design.
Confidence, Privacy, and Motivation through Design
Thanks to user interviews and tests, 3 core design principles were outlined for this interface:
Confidence:
- users should know when their next test window is
- users should be able to navigate the interface with confidence, especially the task section
- they should know whether their microphone check was performed correctly, whether their voice sample is being/ - was recorded, and whether they can record again if they need to
- the word test/assessment was avoided, words related to success and failure were replaced
Privacy:
- users should be able to exit the task at any time and resume smoothly
- they should be able to test whether their headphones are connected properly
- they should also be informed of how their data is being collected.
Motivation:
- a streak system was added to the interface to motivate users to stay consistent.
- a progress bar was added under the test section to let users know how much they have left.
Other:
- A good balance between friendly and serious tone was used.
- No triggering visuals were used
- Resources are easily accessible, as some feedback was that one might log onto Psyrin just for them
