Personas are written profiles of people, real or fictional, that are used as references for creating a product, to ensure it meets the needs of the people it’s designed for. For Bipolar Bridges, the aim of these personas is to get us thinking about potential users during the design phase, so we can think about what features might help them meet their goals as well as the barriers and facilitators to them using the app. We want the app to be able to aid the mental health journeys of people of all cultures, ages, genders, and sexual orientations.
You can help us out by filling out one of the persona templates below, and sending it to erin.michalak@ubc.ca.
We’ve also created an example persona template to reference, which you can open up below:
Please email completed persona templates to erin.michalak@ubc.ca. Thank you!
