Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The aim was to create a digital companion for people living with or close to suicidal thoughts. We created a digital companion that we call Lumeno. Lumen means light and Lumeno is meant to help a life fighter in his dark moments with the help of his bright moments in life. However, Lumeno is not just a suicide prevention app but a life app where the user gets to know themselves better and can prevent ill health in several ways.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Lumeno is a digital companion that is available around the clock and that helps people over acute southern risks and to manage life. Two users of Lumeno write like this: “I use the app regardless of whether I have a dark or light day. I learn that life not only contains dark days because the app also helps me see the bright " " I find patterns in myself with the app, I see more clearly what it is that makes me end up in the dark. I have become better at getting to know myself, which among other things has made me clear away relationships I do not feel good about. ”
Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** We have created Lumeno by working from the book Handbook for life fighters. Together with Sticky Beat, we have developed Lumeno through both physical and digital workshops. The pandemic has forced us to find new ways to develop the app. We developed a version, Lumeno 0.5, and with the help of users have continued to develop the app further to a new version, Lumeno 1.0.
