From Really less experience in taking care of children
I'm not ready to be a father
Dad’s time flow of the day
From a father's daily schedule, it can be seen that more than half of the day is spent on the children.
In recent years, more and more data show that fathers are suffering from postpartum depression, which is no longer a label for women, and we should pay more attention to fathers.
From 2012 to 2022, male postpartum depression has been on the rise. Research shows that father's depression has increased by nearly 45%
Male postpartum depression has not been paid attention to, and people focus on women. However, in recent years, the proportion of male postpartum depression has been closer to that of female postpartum depression.

Reflection
This project showed me that supporting fathers’ emotional well-being is less about direct intervention and more about reducing everyday stress points. By translating research insights into a system of community sharing, structured parenting support, relief tools, and relationship-focused reminders, I learned how UX design can ease pressure through routines and relationships rather than explicit guidance.
