Abstract
This thesis explores how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be integrated into a digital platform to support the subjective well-being of women experiencing hormonal imbalances or menstrual-related issues. Through cultural probes with participants and interviews with TCM experts, the study identified a need for emotionally responsive, cycle-aware, and culturally grounded self-care tools. Insights from this research informed the design of a personalized digital platform that incorporates mood and symptom tracking, TCM-based self-care guidance, and access to professional consultation. The final design reflects a hybrid approach that merges TCM’s holistic, preventative philosophies with user-centered digital design to promote emotional resilience and bodily balance. By translating traditional health wisdom into accessible, interactive features, the platform offers a new model for designing inclusive and adaptive digital health tools tailored to women's lived experiences.
