Round About
PTSD app
Tech University of Korea Department of Design Engineering
Round About is a mobile navigation service that helps victims relieve and overcome posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) associated with physical spaces. It provides route guidance bypassing places similar to ones that cause trauma from the keyword data collected by close people around them. As these helpers discover and register more keywords for different locations, the person being helped can choose safer routes. Round About then gradually expands their radius of action by continuously checking emotional status and removing the assigned keywords. Round About is a gentle solution that helps people with PTSD return to their daily lives.
