Canvas Interface Redesign is an interface design group project that helps to improve the user experience of Canvas. The current layout of Canvas’s Homepage has much information that is not useful to students and is not conducive to assignment completion. Base on the experience of the recent Canvas homepage, our team listed out some major issues and we design our interview questions. Since almost every student uses the canvas, we decided to interview both lower level and upper-level students from different schools and college. After we did the observation interviews and researchers, we decided to redesign the Canvas into a customized homepage that would fulfill different needs for different students.

Problem & Goal
7.4 Million
Americans with PTSD related nightmares
1.3-2.3 Million
Veterans with NIghtmare Disorder
IMPORTANCE
Existing medicinal treatments have adverse side effects that harm veterans' quality of life and are not proven effective
AUDIENCE
~7.4 million patient population diagnosable for Nightmare Disorder, including veterans with PTSD
GOAL
My Role:
Design Research, Market Analysis, Interface Design, Product Design
Develop a human-centered solution that will detect REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and facilitate lucid dreaming to aid patients who have PTSD-induced nightmare disorders.
Existing Solution
Sleep Tracking Device Dreem
Wearable Tech: NightWear
Weighted Blanket
White Noise Machine
Research
The use of EMG (Electromyography) and another biometric (EOG Electrooculography or heart rate) would result in an even more accurate measurement of REM sleep.
EMG electrodes
Visualize & Record Sleep
These allow users to keep track of factors that may affect their sleep
Sleep Journaling
Medication Tracking
Sleep Tracking
**Questionnaires were created in collaboration with a sleep psychologist at the Veterans Affairs Hospital
