The challenge
Problem
The University of Illinois Chicago required a novel approach to reach LGBTQ+ youth. They needed an engaging, accessible vehicle to teach critical skills for maintaining healthy peer relationships, but real-world practice carries emotional risks that can deter vulnerable youth from trying.
What we built
Solution
We developed a health intervention app that delivers relationship skill-building through scenario-driven interactions. The experience emulates social-media patterns to feel familiar, reduce barriers to entry, and improve engagement for the target audience. Users make choices inside a safe virtual environment, allowing practice without real-world consequences.
To make scenarios feel authentic, we used OpenAI to generate realistic, natural-sounding conversations and supporting images that match the tone and context of each situation. This helped the app present believable interactions while keeping content controlled and aligned to the intervention goals.
We structured content so learning objectives map to in-app decisions and outcomes, enabling repeatable skill reinforcement. The solution is designed to support ongoing research and curriculum updates by allowing new scenarios, content variations, and feature modules to be added without reworking the core application flow.
