A research proposal that aims to examine the beneficial, neutral, and detrimental effects of digital therapeutics to propose a desirable method that addresses the issue of incapable management of depression among New Zealand’s demographic of Rangatahi Māori aka teenage Māori.

Depression is a significant mental health concern within the Māori community, and exploring the potential of digital therapeutics as a tool for improving depression management is crucial.

The study employs a human-centered design approach from IDEO to understand the experiences, needs, and preferences of young Māori men in relation to digital therapeutics for depression management.
