Using a user-centered design approach to co-design a culturally responsive mobile application to support self-management of anxiety and depression among Black women.
About
More than 50% of Black women with anxiety and depression do not receive treatment for their mental health conditions. We are using a user-centered design approach to co-design a culturally responsive mobile application (app), WellSis, to support self-management of anxiety and depression among Black women.
The WellSis app addresses this gap by integrating features directly informed by the lived experiences of Black women — from coping tools to care pathways — designed to be culturally affirming and clinically grounded.
