HIAS - Young mother refugee app
HIAS wanted to support adolescent refugee mothers aged 12 to 24 in Kenya. We created a mobile app and a web platform to help the team identify key depression symptoms and help young mothers manage common perinatal mental health concerns, with a gamified app, relaxation resources, a wellbeing questionnaire and a dashboard for support staff.
