YOU^th x VATION

This team has observed that many youths suffer from depression, anxiety, and have even become suicidal due to the negative impact of the pandemic. The team decided to design a platform that caters for the need for youth to express themselves and increase productivity to improve mental well-being.

Therefore, the team created a user Interface App called EASEL. It is a digital art therapy app which functions to improve mental health with artistic means. The UI app is created in hopes to spread awareness to youths who are struggling with pressure and mental issues, at the same time promoting the benefits of art therapy. EASEL includes features such as digital art journal, digital therapy pet, meditative art games, virtual art gallery and a helpline service.

The purpose of EASEL app is simply to ease tension and a platform to express, and not to judge or compare artistic credibility. Ultimately, the priority is the overall mental health of the users.
