What is Ginsberg?
“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness”
- Allen Ginsberg, Howl
What is Ginsberg.io? Ginsberg.io is a web and mobile service for the general Sco:sh popula;on to improve their
health and mental wellbeing
Why this approach?
Smartphone ownership
Apps & wearable technology
Increasingly busy lifestyles
Policy context o Ginsberg is part of Commitment 6 of the Scottish Government’s
Mental Health Strategy 2012-2015:
o Commitment 6: During the period of the Mental Health Strategy we will develop a Scotland-wide approach to improving mental health through new technology in collaboration with NHS 24.
o Our goal is to support the grander vision of a future where every Scottish citizen who experiences distress has a range of interventions available to them.
Who are we trying to reach? o Ginsberg is a pre-clinical
intervention o For people with low mood,
mild-to-medium stress, anxiety, depression
o Our focus is on ‘everyday stresses’ that people won’t see their GP about
Design principles o Build something engaging and ‘sticky’ that helps users identify the
triggers for stress in their lives
o Create a safe place for people to become more self-aware, to externalise, reflect and validate how they feel.
o Build something that doesn’t judge, label or diagnose the people who use it
o Create a completely confidential, private and secure space
o Build something that integrates seamlessly into the lives of our users
How does it work?
Externalise & Reflect
Take more control of your life
Identify triggers & root causes
Ginsberg Product Demonstration
Let’s take a look at what we built
Iterating, Innovating and Connecting
How we work Plan
Prototype

Improve
o Agile development o 2 week sprints o Release every
sprint o 2-3 sprints for new
feature to go from concept to live
Evolving Ginsberg o Ginsberg is constantly developing in response
to feedback o Real user feedback is critical to developing a
sticky, engaging product o Currently in an Open Beta test for people to
tell us what they like and don’t like o We learn from this feedback then build a new
set of features to better support our users
User feedback o 50 new feature ideas o 123 user support tickets o 106 one week surveys o 61 inactive surveys
Top feedback 1. Mobile experience 2. Ginsberg is too ‘naggy’ 3. Buggy connections with external apps 4. Not clear how to unsubscribe or freeze

sugar
