Building a Comprehensive Digital Platform for Workplace Mental Health with Oliva

Oliva Health's goal was to create a user-friendly website that served as a one-stop shop for workplace mental health resources. Ideally, this platform would make it easy for employees and HR professionals to access mental health services, find helpful information, and learn how to navigate challenging conversations. However, Oliva Health needed to build this platform from the ground up. The challenge was to design an intuitive website with a dedicated mental health hub and a specialized platform for managers. To further enhance accessibility, Oliva Health wanted to leverage AI technology to automate the delivery of therapist-created content. This project was driven by the increasing recognition of mental health issues and the demand for innovative solutions in the workplace.

Creating a Specialized Platform for Tough Conversations: The project also focused on developing a unique platform (https://tough-conversations.oliva.health/) specifically designed for managers and HR personnel. This platform's objective was to offer guidance and resources for effectively handling difficult conversations in the workplace.

Innovating with AI Technology: A significant aspect of the project was researching and integrating text-to-speech AI therapy tools. This innovation aimed to automate the curation of content by renowned therapists, enhancing the effectiveness and reach of Oliva Health's services.

Design System Contribution: For the Oliva Health web platform, Blott Studio contributed to the design system, particularly by designing the 'text therapy' feature. This involved creating a user-friendly and efficient design that would be integral to the platform's functionality.

Background Context: Oliva Health sought to address the growing need for accessible and effective mental health support, particularly in the workplace. The project was set against a backdrop of increasing awareness of mental health issues and the need for innovative solutions in this domain.

Blott Studio developed an engaging and accessible website for Oliva Health, creating a digital hub that offers comprehensive mental health resources tailored to the needs of employees and HR professionals. We designed an intuitive user interface that allows users to easily navigate through a variety of content, including articles, videos, and interactive resources. For managers and HR personnel, we created the Tough Conversations platform, providing structured guidance and tools to handle sensitive workplace issues effectively. To enhance the platform’s capabilities, we integrated AI-driven text-to-speech technology, enabling automated delivery of therapist-curated content. This innovative feature helps to personalize the user experience and make mental health resources more accessible. We also contributed to the overall design system, ensuring a cohesive and efficient user experience across all digital touchpoints.

The new Oliva Health platform has significantly improved its online presence, offering a user-friendly and visually appealing digital hub that supports workplace mental health. The comprehensive mental health hub has become a go-to resource for employees seeking guidance and support, while the Tough Conversations platform has empowered managers and HR professionals to address sensitive topics with confidence. The integration of AI technology has expanded the reach and accessibility of therapist-curated content, making mental health support more engaging and widely available. As a result, Oliva Health is now better equipped to support organizations in promoting mental wellbeing and fostering a healthier, more supportive work environment.
