Evidence-based methods that builds on cognitive behavioral therapy
"To increase engagement, we integrated gamification elements to encourage users to spend more time in the app and provide incentives for returning more frequently."
Ivan Staselovich
Product Manager
Reward System & Achievements
In ProgressMe we used game elements and mechanics to create a more interactive and engaging user experience. This includes reward systems, achievements, leaderboards & rankings. We created motivation through a system of rewards and achievements that users can earn, for instance, by creating topics and providing answers in the community.
Levels, Avatars & Progress
We provided the user with the opportunity to create their own avatar, creating a sense of ownership (improving the character = improving oneself)
Tasks, Questionnaires & Community
Surveys assess health, identify issues, or test knowledge, and users should be rewarded with “+500 experience” for their effort. A community was also built to foster belonging and encourage active participation.
Soothing and encouraging design
The app boasts a sleek and modern design that combines captivating visuals with user-friendly navigation. Its thoughtfully crafted layout ensures a seamless and enjoyable user experience, elevating every interaction.
"We designed the ProgressMe app to make users feel at ease. Its intuitive navigation and empathetic features create a welcoming experience, encouraging engagement and trust."
Alexey Losskiy
Lead Designer
Social proof and encouraging style
Right from the first message, the app shows social trust from a large number of users. Moreover, during the use of the application, even when making mistakes, the application tries to cheer up the user.
Illustrations that are sophisticated and meaningful
To reach a broader target audience, we updated the illustrations. This allowed us to enhance the app's professional medical style.
