Case Study
Triple-O is an application that is based on stress reduction, generating the user different activities related to their mood through the generated activities the user has the option to earn virtual coins that once reaching an estimated amount for their goals it is possible to change them to local currency instead of their bank account or cryptocurrency. Giving two benefits such as reducing stress and generating money at the same time.

Project Overview
We Imagine an application designed specifically to support users in disconnecting from work-related thoughts once their workday has ended. The core function of this app is to help individuals mentally transition out of work mode, reducing the frequency and intensity of intrusive thoughts about tasks, responsibilities, or projects that may continue to linger after hours. The app would encourage users to unwind by providing engaging distractions, such as relaxing activities, mindfulness exercises, or enjoyable, thought-redirecting content.
User Research
For the research we have thoroughly investigated which are the most common problems in terms of work-related stress and which users are most affected by it. For the interview method we generated 12 questions related to the topic and sent them via survey.
Collecting data from 30 users, we then concluded that that our users are estimated to be between 25–35 years old, located in capital cities and work remotely.
Survey results
The most relevant methods by our interviews to reduce stress are:
68,4%
Exercise
73,7%
Socialising
52,6%
Hobbies
Problem statement
Remote young professionals often struggle to set clear boundaries between work and personal time, especially when working from home blurs these lines. Despite efforts to separate the two, they find it hard to mentally shift from work to relaxation, leading to increased stress and a strained work-life balance. This highlights the core challenge of achieving a clear, healthy division between professional and personal life.

Prototype
Our design process begins with developing a native iOS app, starting with low-fidelity (low-fi) prototypes that outline core functionality and user flows. This stage provides a near-final view of the app’s appearance and functionality. To validate the design, we conduct user testing with four users, gathering real-time feedback on usability and flow. This iterative process allows us to refine the app, ensuring a seamless, user-centered experience before development begins.
We did a competitive visual analysis of our competitors to evaluate their design strategies and determine their strengths and weaknesses.
