Having a burnout and overcoming it is hard enough – so why shouldn't there be a tool to ease the return to everyday life and support therapy?

Challenge
Burnout syndrome is often not noticed until it's too late – hospitalization and therapy are the result. The biggest challenge, however, is the transition phase between the clinic stay and the reintegration back to work. From a completely protected and supervised environment to – if at all – weekly therapy sessions. Patients now run the risk of falling back into old behavior patterns and losing progress they have already made.
So we asked ourselves:
How can we help users regain resilience in working life and prevent a relapse?

Challenge
There are many lateral entrants and amateurs who design different products. Often the necessary training is lacking, which mostly affects the typographical appearance. Typography follows certain principles that specify which, when and how fonts are selected, changed and combined. In addition to correct use, visual diversity also plays an important role in making typography unique.

Solution
Our goal is to create an accompaniment for patients that works well together with the weekly therapy sessions. The solution is a visually appealing and well-structured mobile application that adapts the contents and tasks of the therapy and supports patients in applying it. They learn how to deal with current stress, improve their perception of stressful situations and strengthen their self-confidence.

We see the relevance for a concept that effects during and especially after a clinic stay to support patients and prevent from relapses.

Transfer of therapy contents to a
digital concept
During the research, we came across different contents that draw themselves through the different therapy approaches. It was now necessary to transfer these contents to a digital concept, which resulted in the five main requirements.

Information for confident
handling of fonts
Various tools help the user to find a suitable and appropriate font for his project, while detailed information on the use and backgrounds of the font convey typographic knowledge. Once the right font has been found, it can be tested in various ways and, if desired, saved or purchased.
Home screen intelligently adapts to needs
The home screen guarantees a fast and uncomplicated use of the application. It serves as an intelligent buddy that addresses the user directly and always displays what may be needed. The particular representations are dynamic, friendly, informative and simplified.
Short and easy mood update
For the therapy, it's beneficial to record emotionally stressful, but also pleasant situations. The mood update offers a short, user-friendly, yet detailed input option.
Hygg and color
A personalized color code consisting of eight predefined colors helps to better classify the moods, increases the recognition of an update and indicates changes.

Effective breathing exercise through biofeedback
Breathing exercises are important for almost every form of therapy.
While exercising, Hygg measures the heart rate (by smartwatch or by placing the finger on camera lens) and integrates real-time data into the animation, so the patient can see it and relax better.

Intelligent support of day
planning
Existing appointments can be imported and analyzed by Hygg. Warnings appear when buffer times are not met or too many appointments are planned. Hygg also makes sure that professional appointments and pleasant activities balance each other out.

Overviews show connections
Through a detailed analysis of mood updates, vital data, the general use of the application, as well as changes in all these aspects over time, it's possible to draw accurate, multi-layered conclusions.
Day
Zoom able overview with the option to create a more detailed daily review in the evening.
Week
Focus is on summaries and conclusions of the week, as well as on keywords of individual days.

Zoom into each day
Three different zoom stages offer a detailed overview that creates direct connections between appointments, daily challenges, and colored moods, as well as stress level and stress resistance.
Analog version for therapy
Hygg works in close cooperation with the therapist, which is why printed overviews serve as a basis for therapeutic discussions.
