How can digital design contribute to women’s wellbeing?
During the second semester, 3rd-year Graphic Design students at IDarte tackled the Aura challenge: designing innovative digital solutions to support women’s hormonal health. From menarche to menopause, each team identified real problems and developed user-centered apps.
The challenge was addressed through the courses Digital Media VI and User Experience (UX), combining technical skills, active methodologies, and an ethical approach. Mentored by ChubbyApps, students worked professionally with a strong social commitment, applying the Challenge-Based Learning (ChBL) framework.
What do these projects offer?
- Objective health metrics: heart rate, sleep quality, body temperature…
- User profiles addressed:
- · Young women in early menstruation
- · Those with PCOS or endometriosis
- · Athletes during menstruation
- · Users seeking relief or prevention of menstrual pain
Connection with SDGs
- SDG 3 – Good health and well-being
- SDG 5 – Gender equality

More than an academic exercise
Aura clearly demonstrates how design can generate positive, ethical and real social impact. At IDarte, learning design means transforming the world through knowledge: innovation that cares and leaves a mark.
Thanks to all the students for their effort, creativity and sensitivity. And special thanks to Patricia and Asier from ChubbyApps, this wouldn’t have been possible without you.
