A mobile app to help the users to feel calm
based on Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
Special app for Mark Grant, clinical psychologist with 20 years of exp. in the treatment of stress, trauma, and pain. Calm & Confident is designed to help the users to feel calm and balanced by listening to audio tracks and watching video clips with BLS (bilateral brain stimulation) effect, which is a vital part of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) treatment.
Challenges
- In this app we wanted to try more personalized approach for user listening experience because different tracks work better for different people and we had to provide them with a beeline to the most helping tracks whenever they need it. At the same time we didn’t want to make the app more complex than it is necessary for its main goal.1
- It was very important for us to synchronize our animation with the frequency of metronome used for BLS effect. Otherwise the visuals won’t amplify original stimulating effect.2
Solutions
1
For that
we have built-in a Personal compilation gallery where the most frequently listening tracks are collected. It can have both audio tracks and tracks with animation since they all belong to the same playlist.
2
Since
the metronome frequency was not consistent due to BSL effect requirements and the customer couldn’t provide us with accurate calculations for the correct frequency within different timeframes we had to calculate it by ourselves. Because of that the animation was generated automatically via coding means instead of putting together a single animated file manually.
Results
