Abstract

Depression among North Korean defectors is becoming more common in South Korea. Our goal was to design technologies for North Korean defectors with depression. To identify the needs of our target population, we created personas and scenarios by incorporating known factors from previous studies. The findings from our work highlight that North Korean defectors may have special needs due to their special backgrounds. With these special requirements, we will attempt to produce a solution by designing technologies to support the defectors experiencing depression.
