Cognita is a mental health tracking app that helps users better understand their emotional well-being. It allows them to record thoughts and moods, identify recurring behavioral patterns, and explore challenging situations with the help of AI.

The goal was to design a mobile application with a clear and intuitive user journey — from onboarding and creating a personality profile to regular self-reflection, emotional analysis, and personalized recommendations.

Key Design Challenges

Throughout the project, I focused on three main objectives:

1. Emotional Tracking: Help users quickly and comfortably capture their emotional state through journaling, text entries, and voice notes.
2. AI-Powered Reflection: Design an experience for exploring difficult situations with an AI therapist and simulating alternative responses.
3. Pattern Recognition: Help users track changes in their emotional well-being and recognize recurring behavioral patterns.

Problems

Difficulty Identifying Patterns: It can be challenging to recognize recurring thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns over time.Emotional Overwhelm: In stressful situations, it can be difficult to organize feelings and understand what to do next.Lost Insights Between Therapy Sessions: Important thoughts, observations, and insights can be forgotten between sessions with a psychologist.Need for Gentle Self-Reflection: Users need a supportive way to explore their emotional state without increasing anxiety or self-criticism.

1. Going Through a Difficult Time When I am going through a difficult situation and writing down my thoughts on my phone, I want to understand my feelings and explore possible ways to respond, so that I can reduce anxiety and feel more prepared  for similar situations in the future.2. Currently in Therapy When significant events happen between therapy sessions, I want to record and organize them in one plасе, so that I can better understand my reactions and workmore effectively with my therapist.3. People with Specific Mental Health Needs When I analyze and discuss my emotional state in a chat, I want to do so in a gentle and emotionally safe environment, so that I can better understand myself and my reactions without increasing anxiety or self-criticism.4. Self-Aware and Reflective Users When I reflect on my experiences and track my emotional state in an app, I want to see a comprehensive picture of how I have been feeling over time, so that I can recognize whether I am doing well or approaching burnout.

User Flows

Three main user flows were designed:1. Daily Journaling & Mood Tracking For users who want to regularly monitor their emotional well-being, a daily journaling and reflection flow was developed. Users can record their thoughts through text or voice notes, track their mood, and explore the factors that influenced their day.2. AI-Powered Situation Analysis For users who need to process a challenging situation, an interactive dialogue with an AI therapist was designed. The experience consists of three stages: describing the situation, reflecting on emotions and reactions, and completing a scenario-based quiz to explore alternative responses to a similar situation.3. Statistics & Personality Map A dedicated flow was designed for exploring emotional statistics and a personalized personality map. It helps users track changes in their emotional well-being, identify recurring behavioral patterns, and receive personalized recommendations.
