AI-driven technologies and user experience

3 ECTS

The students will solve a problem presented to them by an Estonian startup company Mental Pin. Using the SPRINT-method, they will work in international teams, coming up with a solution. They adopt an experimental approach, focusing on:

User Research: Conducting in-depth explorations into how individuals experience and document anxiety, gathering unique insights through interviews, observations, and case studies.

Rapid Prototyping: Engaging in iterative cycles of building, testing, and refining prototypes to learn quickly and tangibly. This process will allow students to experiment with AI integrations, user interfaces, and interaction models to find what resonates most with users.

Learning by Doing: By taking a hands-on approach to building prototypes, the students aim to uncover insights about user behavior, mental health journaling needs, and AI's potential to facilitate self-reflection and therapy.

This project emphasizes innovation and discovery through making, giving students the freedom to experiment and push boundaries in both technology and user experience design. The outcome will not only be a functional prototype but also a wealth of insights on the intersection of AI, mental health, and user-centered design.
