The Monash THRIVE team grew out of the underlying mental health crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout this time we have worked with our students, international, domestic, and post-graduate, to build tailored online resources to help our students access mental health information that is evidence based and written for them. From this work, it became apparent that our very own community needed something else to help them understand their own wellbeing as part of their journey here at Monash, from this need, the Monash Thrive app was created.
We ensured that our App would be engaging, evidence-based, and co-designed. The Monash Thrive app has undergone two previous iterations before we reached the version now available to the Monash community. Our first two iterations of the Monash Thrive app underwent focused research testing with our student populations. Version 1 was tested with 50 Monash students over 6 weeks, and version 2 was tested with 150 Monash students over a 12-week period. This testing included:
- Completing surveys every 2 weeks to help us understand; your wellbeing, how students are coping and how often they are using the app.
- Receiving feedback on the App at the end of the trial.
- Helping us review the implemented feedback.
Privacy was a key consideration for our team. To ensure our users felt secure and safe using the App, any information input onto the Monash Thrive app is only stored on the user's phone, behind a PIN/biometric login, and easy to delete permanently if ever needed by either deleting their account from within the app or simply uninstalling the app at any time.
