Table 7.

Pain points and opportunities to improve the platform flow.


User feedback Implications
Welcome screens and registration
  • Like the visual designs and find the quotes meaningful

  • Keep using and make good use of the graphics in various pages

Chatbot
  • Interactive and caring as if talking to a real person

  • A few find chatbot mechanical or nonhuman like

  • Though the attitudes toward chatbot may vary among users, the interactive and caring impression could be further amplified in chatbot dialogue design

Mental health assessment
  • Perceived the 16 items of PHQa-9 and GADb-7 being too basic to identify one’s mental state, hence may not be too reliable or useful

  • Some find that the assessment is too long

  • Perceived it as professional but some expects to see references to increase its reliability

  • Convenient and efficient to complete the assessment

  • More information and references about PHQ and GAD could be added in the dialogue to enhance professionalism and credibility

  • The importance and purpose of taking the assessment could also be highlighted before the assessment to motivate users to complete the 16 questions

aPHQ: Patient Health Questionnaire.

bGAD: Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
