Our evidenced-based methodology combines multiple areas of expertise to improve clinician capacity, simplify usability, and sustain quality in mental health treatments. Our aim is to create a collaborative and iterative environment, provide a strong foundation for every project, and establish a flexible, nonlinear framework that evolves as we learn from our progress over time.
Discover
We work to understand environmental factors, define the needs of everyone involved, and identify specific problems we want to solve.
Design
We examine the information gathered during the discover phase, process this information, and brainstorm concepts for potential solutions.
Build
We develop low-fidelity prototypes of our concepts, test these prototypes with users, and refine our concepts based on findings.
Test
We develop high-fidelity prototypes, implement a pilot study, and rethink our approach based on its performance in a real-world setting.
