BUMP is an innovative extended reality (XR) application designed to support mental well-being during the perinatal period. This period, characterised by elevated emotional and mental challenges, often lacks accessible, empathetic support.
BUMP leverages XR technologies, specifically augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), to offer interactive educational resources, community support, and personalised coping strategies tailored to the perinatal experience. By incorporating interactive AR features like foetal visualisation and a VR relaxation space, BUMP provides a calming, engaging way for users to manage stress and anxiety. This empathetic, digital approach fills a critical gap in traditional mental health resources, offering a scalable solution to help individuals navigate the emotional complexities of the perinatal period more effectively.
