Proposal 1

 The product I will be proposing for today will be a mobile application. This application will be released on smartphones and it will be an app that helps to make life better for people in Singapore or even around the world, by helping to solve an issue that is faced globally, which is mental health issues. This application, named Mind Assist, will  be a tool or guide to help users manage their  anxiety, stress, boredom or even problems with their sleep. This app will contain several courses, which show guided exercises or videos that will teach users  how to handle their stress or sleep issues better, with things like tutorials and explanations.

This app will be free for everyone to start, which makes it better than most apps in the market as they can cost money. As you can see from this survey done last year, 47% of people did not seek help because of costs, so this app will be accessible to even more people as it will be very affordable for everyone.

 As you can see from this article from Straits times, mental health issues are becoming an even bigger problem because of the pandemic that is causing people to feel a lot more lonely, depressed and bored. Also, in a survey conducted a year ago by YouGov, it was found that a third of Singaporeans have experienced suicidal thoughts. People from all ages, especially teenagers are facing these problems and if this issue is ignored, it can cause serious problems to people around the world. This is why I think a mobile application that will have guides to help people to manage their stress better that many people can use,  is the best solution for this serious problem.

 This application will help to make lives easier for everyone during this pandemic, many people face problems with their stress, but they don’t have the time or money to see a professional therapist. This will make things easier for everyone as all they have to do is to use this application during their free time, and read the guides and practise the exercises, like meditation exercises included in the application without having to pay the large costs. It will have easy programs for people who are beginners as well, so even people who have never tried out anything related to stress reducing activities, like meditation,  will find it easy to use this application. It will also have free trials for people, so people who do not want to spend a cent can still try this application out.

Conclusion: To conclude, this application will be a guide to help anyone do exercises that can help with their mental well being. This will allow everyone around the world of all age groups to be able to seek help for managing their stress or boredom without the need to spend a lot of money and time, and eventually make lives much easier for people by helping them to cope with a huge problem, that exists in their daily lives. I hope you accept this proposal as I believe it to be an excellent solution to mental health problems.
