FlowWell — Redesigning a Seamless Wellness Experience

Problem

FlowWell’s existing platform faced several user experience challenges:

• Complex Navigation: Users struggled to locate resources due to unclear information architecture.
  
• Low Engagement: Interactive elements were minimal, causing users to leave the site quickly.
  
• Mobile Responsiveness Issues: The platform did not adapt well to different devices, limiting accessibility.
  
• Limited User Feedback Loops: There was no mechanism to capture real-time user insights to inform improvements.
  

Additionally, broader industry challenges impacted the platform’s effectiveness:

• Stigma around mental health made engagement difficult.
  
• High cost of wellness services prevented many users from accessing resources.
  
• Limited accessibility to qualified professionals hindered support.
  

The goal was to redefine the user experience, making FlowWell a welcoming, intuitive, and accessible digital space for mental wellness.
