Devii - Mobile App

Mobile journaling and gamification app designed to support individuals with eating disorders.

Un Caso de Estudio en Empatía

Devii is more than just a technical project; it is a deeply personal piece of work.

I discovered that gamification can be a powerful tool in mental health.

This emotional connection was so strong that it led me to turn this project into my university thesis.

Análisis y Desarrollo

The design was inspired by Tamagotchis, where the user cares for a virtual pet. By recording meals and feelings (Journaling), the user not only maintains records for their specialist but also interacts with their pet.

It was crucial to ensure a 'trigger-free' design. I worked with guidance from a psychologist to validate that visual elements and language did not reinforce negative behaviors.

Resultados y Aprendizaje

The project went through multiple iterations (3 sprints) until reaching a visual style that blends Material Design with unique personal touches.

While still in development, the functional prototype demonstrated that gamification can significantly improve user retention in long-term therapies.
