Hi my name is Umeiko

and my team is RISATA.

  • I interviewed High school students of all grades, ages, and ethnicities.
  • I have interviewed mental health workers.
  • Teachers
  • Parents
  • Community leader
  • And used my own experience

This is the DEPI APP.

My app IS THE DEPI APP

It is a mental health app that has more human interaction, human sensitivity, and more real life answers to issues instead of generic answers.

  • Personal therapist
  • connection
  • inclusive
  • Personal experience

With more time I would interview more people so my app could be more inclusive to older men and women.

  • Cost money(other apps)
  • Free
  • Human not issue

I made this app because the black community gets so little mental health help.

So do other mnorities.

This is more than a school project to me.

This is me taking a stance and trying to make a change.

I believe that if you think something needs to be change you take the first step to take that change.

  • I am proud of my ability to find a way to really forge a human connection with my users.
  • I had a few people try out my model and they all said it felt like the app actually cared and that they would actually use it.

HOW IT WORKS
