Product design question

Design product to improve mental health.

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Tests product sense on a sensitive, high-stakes wellbeing space inside a social platform's context.

Scope this to Meta's ecosystem, Instagram and Facebook, not a standalone therapy app, focused on reducing harm rather than diagnosing.
Pick a segment: teens exposed to social comparison, since that's the most documented and severe harm pathway on these apps.
Identify the pain point: passive scrolling drives comparison anxiety, and users in distress don't know where to find help.
Propose in-app wellbeing check-ins, crisis-resource surfacing when concerning content or searches are detected, and time-well-spent nudges like take-a-break prompts.
Define success as reduced self-reported negative social comparison and crisis-resource click-through, explicitly not time-on-app.

Explicitly rejects engagement or time-on-app as the success metric given the sensitive topic.
Cites Instagram's real Take a Break feature as grounding for feasibility.
Separates passive content-signal detection from active self-report tools instead of conflating the two.

Proposing engagement-maximizing features like more social validation loops, which contradicts the mental-health goal.
Ignoring the liability and safety review that crisis-related features require before launch.

How would you avoid this feature being gamed or ignored by the people who need it most?
How would you measure success without over-relying on self-report surveys?
