Objective/Purpose: KCCEB’s mobile app development aimed to center community voices and create: 1) Mobile apps that are useful and easy-to-use for individuals with high stress and limited time-capacity (caregivers, small businesses owners); 2) A platform that offers a centralized hub for in-language information, relevant community services and programs; and 3) Space where community members share their experiences and challenges in navigating local systems and resources.

Methods: The apps were developed using human-centered design and community participatory processes that center user and community feedback, including semi-structured interviews with users and key stakeholders and a beta-testing phase measuring user behavior on the app. This methodology created content, design, and communication strategies that integrate Asian cultural perspectives and motivations.

Results and Conclusions: KCCEB developed two mobile apps using human centered design and community participatory processes. Ensuring community members have the largest voice and influence in the app development was critical for setting the foundation for the content and functions of apps. We discuss what such apps look like that have been created within such frameworks as well as their impacts on improving LEP individuals’ capacity to deal with stressful situations.
