Vira App & Vira Pro

Redesigning a Digital Therapeutic for Adolescent Depression and integrating Suicide Prevention Features for Users and Practitioners

The future of behavioral health care

Dr. Nick Allen reveals the power of digital transformation to bring therapy to you, wherever you are.

The Vira App by Ksana Health is a mental health tool designed to empower users with proactive and preventative resources. Alongside this, Vira Pro provides practitioners with actionable data and insights to better support their clients. I was contracted to integrate suicide prevention features into both platforms from the Brite App through a partnership with University of Pittsburgh’s, ensuring a cohesive experience for users and their practitioners.

The Challenge

The project involved expanding the functionality of the Vira App while updating the Vira Pro portal to reflect these new capabilities.

Folding in suicide prevention features such as daily mood check-ins, a custom safety plan, therapeutic activities, and crisis resources.
Ensuring visibility of these features across both platforms while balancing user needs and practitioner workflows.
Creating UI/UX to support new AI-powered features in Vira Pro.
Improving onboarding flows, data visualizations, and overall product UI/UX.

The Outcome

Successfully integrated suicide prevention features into the Vira App, enhancing user support during crises.
Updated the Vira Pro portal to align with new app features, giving practitioners tools to monitor client progress and intervene effectively.
Delivered intuitive designs maintaining consistency across the app and practitioner portal.
