Our Story:

“By and For Students”

The Jacobs Center for Health Innovation, in partnership with UC San Diego and in collaboration with Triton students, developed Willo, a mental health and well-being app co-designed by students, for students. Understanding the unique challenges of student life, we applied a co-design methodology to ensure the app is relatable, supportive, and effective in helping students prioritize their mental well-being.

Students are actively engaged in the development of Willo with "The Bud" our insider community of students who participate in interviews, focus groups, workshops, app testing and surveys. Their input shapes a user experience that addresses their most pressing needs, making it easy to find and access helpful services all in one app. We are committed to making the journey toward well-being more accessible for our Triton community.
