Statement

Harvard Medical School of Psychiatry saw the opportunity to scale a physical program into a digital platform that could be made available to anyone who would benefit from it. Our design team explored the user needs based on existing data and defined the platform’s characteristics, always keeping the target user in mind. The platform has allowed the program to reach people from all around the country.

DOORS is a series of pragmatic and interactive lessons designed to develop functional skills for accessing and utilizing the promise of digital health.
