7. Why are people involved?
• Some people want a caring ear to listen to them and share their troubles and joy, especially in this age of quick, but shallow virtual inter-
action on social media
• Some people want to give back and be kind to others by listening deeply, facilitating, and uploading inspiration contents
• Some people want to talk to or collaborate with others who are in similar walks of life or careers or even in different fields
• Some people want to create a community and personal connections
• Some people want to have motivation and connection with other practitioners to deepen their own spiritual and mindfulness practice as
well as learning from listening to others

Analyzing User Data
Why, How

8. • The AA meeting was a very social experience. Approximately 50
people were present; many people seemed to know each other
and chatted over coffee and pastries before the meeting began.
While the space respects anonymity, it seems to be quite social
within a protected boundary of anonymity to outsiders. Our app
should emphasize relationship building and facilitating in-per-
son meetings.
• I noticed people looking around the room a lot. It seems like be-
ing physically present enables people to affirm that other peo-
ple, just like them, are experiencing the same issues.
• To bring everyone to the same page, the meeting begins with a
moment of silence and and serenity prayer.
• One speaker took the stage and shared her personal experi-
ences for 30 minutes. Everyone was respectful and silent. May-
be our app could let people sign up in advance to be the main
speaker during a sharing session.

Interview

9. We used card sorting to validate terminology and gain a
better understanding of how the app will work.
Sticky Notes

10. As we conducted interviews,
I created our personas so
we could begin sketching
out ideas for the app. The
personas were refined as
we continued to gather data
from our interviews.
Personas

11. we came up with the “Journal” feature which was
later validated repeatedly.
We proceeded to flesh out this idea and eventually
decided to merge the ideas.

12. Further testing was done once the
journal idea was integrated into our
InVision prototype and responses
were very positive overall.
