About

Dasion is a NSF (National Science Foundation) funded AI health tech company that addresses healthcare issues with multimodal AI and voice biomarkers.


Its remote monitoring capability enables continuous assessment of patient mental health, issuing timely alerts to healthcare providers for necessary interventions.

Problem

Mental health monitoring is energy-consuming for patients and their clinicians to track treatment progress and outcomes.

Mental health monitoring is energy-consuming for patients and their clinicians to track treatment progress and outcomes.

Hypothesis

Focusing on what matters: we prioritize user engagement metrics to boost AI speed, accuracy, and trust.

I formulated design-focused hypotheses and prioritized them with cross-functional teams using an impact matrix to guide our development efforts effectively.

Vision

Monitoring post-diagnosis mental health treatment should ensure trust, reliability, and companionship.

Early iterations

Evolving our MVP: focusing on user engagement in recording for effective monitoring.

Designs across different service provider are not consistent & outdated.

MVP Framework

The Recording for Monitoring feature

The Recording for Monitoring feature is where our app’s core functionality comes to life. Users engage with the app through daily voice journals, designed to be brief yet effective, capturing essential data points for mental health monitoring.

Testing & Iteration

Users expressed a clear preference for recording their inputs rather than engaging in real-time conversation.

I led the testing with our internal user group, using their feedback to shape two key iterations of our app.


V1 - V2: The first round of feedback led us to separate the prompt and speaking functions, enhancing user focus and interface efficiency.


V2 - V3: In the next iteration, user preferences for flexible communication modes prompted the introduction of a chatbot that supports both typing and voice input.

Outcome

After we re-ran the testing, we were able to positively impact all metrics.

Onboarding Process

Following sign-up, users are presented with the Terms of Use in a clear, easy-to-understand format, ensuring transparency about data usage and user rights.
