Statement
In this project, I design a CBT app for females with mild to moderate anxiety and depression using a female-centered design approach, applying gamification mechanisms into the user experience design process to increase user engagement and adherence. The aim of the research is to identify effective gamification mechanisms that can enhance female users’ engagement and compliance with digital CBT, with a view to improving the overall effectiveness of psychotherapy services for female patients.
