Resumo
A depressão é uma doença grave que atinge cada vez mais pessoas no mundo, porém cerca de metade delas não busca tratamento que, na maioria dos casos, possibilita a cura. Um dos principais fatores para que estas pessoas deixem de procurar ajuda é o estigma social ligado à depressão que acaba por excluir o doente. Nesse contexto, e entendendo o design como uma ferramenta interdisciplinar que propõe soluções aos problemas existentes na sociedade, este trabalho tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta para a conscientização sobre depressão. Para isso, foi necessário entender a doença, a formação do estigma, a interação social e a possibilidade do design e da tecnologia gerarem uma rede de apoio que leva informações sobre a doença para a sociedade. O desenvolvimento do trabalho foi guiado pela metodologia de Garrett (2011), a qual inclui os usuários no processo de design. Para conhecer estes usuários, foram realizadas pesquisas a fim de compreender sua visão sobre depressão, smartphones e aplicativos móveis. Também foi feita uma análise de similares para verificar a usabilidade e a funcionalidade dos aplicativos. A partir do levantamento de dados, criou-se uma lista de requisitos que guiou o desdobramento da etapa criativa do trabalho, onde se utilizou a técnica de moodboard para aprofundamento das expectativas dos usuários e geração de inspiração para o desenvolvimento do design visual do aplicativo. Também foram criados o diagrama de arquitetura, os wireframes e as telas finais de acordo com os requisitos estabelecidos durante o trabalho. Por fim, foi gerado um protótipo e realizados testes de usabilidade e de verificação dos requisitos a fim de validar o desenvolvimento do aplicativo, o qual objetiva unir design e tecnologia para promover a criação de redes de apoio e também a conscientização da sociedade, buscando diminuir o estigma ligado à depressão.
Depression is a serious disease that increasingly affects people in the world, but about half of them do not seek a treatment that, in most cases, makes the cure possible. One of the main factors for these people to stop seeking help is the social stigma attached to depression that ultimately excludes the patient. In this context, and understanding design as an interdisciplinary tool that proposes solutions to existing problems in society, this work aims to develop a tool to raise awareness about depression. For this, it was necessary to understand the disease, the stigma formation, the social interaction and the possibility of design and technology to generate a support network that gives information about the disease to society. The development of the work was guided by the methodology of Garrett (2011), which includes users in the design process. To know these users, surveys were conducted to understand their views on depression, smartphones and mobile applications. A similar analysis was also done to verify the usability and functionality of the applications. From the data collection, a list of requirements was created that guided the unfolding of the creative stage of the work, where the moodboard technique was used to deepen users' expectations and generate inspiration for the development of the visual design of the application. The architecture diagram, wireframes and final screens were also created according to the requirements established during the work. Finally, a prototype was generated and usability and requirements verification tests were performed to validate the development of the application, which aims to unite design and technology to promote the creation of support networks and also the awareness of society, seeking to decrease the stigma attached to depression.
