Wellness Check is a VUI "voice as a user interface" journal application that aims to help improve users' mental well-being.
* Wellness Check is a hypothetical product created as a final project for Informatics 286: Innovation in HCI and Design as part of the UCI Master of Human-Computer Interaction and Design Program, Summer 2021.
In order to ensure that the design was influenced by accurate data, I conducted a literature review. The purpose of this Literature Review is to explore the different implications social media has on individuals and the public during the COVID-19 pandemic.
