Care Hub Educational App: A Review of User Experience Gaps and Potential Innovations for Adolescent Learning

Care Hub is an educational mobile application created to support interactive learning through structured modules, playful activities, and brief daily insights designed to build foundational awareness in self-care and general wellbeing. The present research focuses on reviewing user experience gaps while also considering how previously envisioned development directions, such as broader accessibility, deeper personalization, and community-linked engagement, can be incorporated into a unified enhancement pathway. Core limitations identified within the current design relate to language accessibility, the absence of instructor-oriented support features, and limited avenues for collaborative or peer-driven interaction. These aspects are integrated with forward-looking design intentions to understand how functional improvements can reinforce the app's educational purpose. The findings indicate that Care Hub already contributes to sustained learner engagement and supports gradual cognitive development, yet several interaction points require strengthening to meet the diverse needs of minority adolescent users. Emerging directions include the addition of localized language interfaces, an educator-accessible progress environment, structured peer challenges, adaptive feedback mechanisms, and analytic tools capable of offering more detailed learning insights. The combined consideration of existing gaps and prospective features positions Care Hub for stronger continuity between its present capabilities and its long-term role in adolescent education.
