Abstract
People are becoming more aware of their own well-being and are constantly looking
for new methods to improve themselves and to perform better in all aspects of life.
Simultaneously trends are proving more people are facing mental illness such as fatigue
syndrome, anxiety, and depression. Studies show that these trends are present
in the educational sector as well. Remente is a company offering an application
to stimulate well-being and resilience among their users. This thesis concerns how
Remente should approach the educational sector, using Chalmers University of Technology
as a case study. Therefore, Chalmers is charted as a potential purchaser and
the students at Chalmers as potential end-users. Remente’s application is also analyzed
according to how it should be adapted to reach a successful product-market fit.
In this thesis, it was concluded that working towards increased well-being and preventive
measures for mental illnesses are both economically and socially beneficial
for all parties involved. By charting Chalmers it was understood that they are
working systematically with work environment issues. It was also concluded that
there is a need both for the students and Chalmers and that Remente has a unique
product offering and a proper product-market fit, fulfilling important end-user and
purchaser needs. Suggestions for improvements and additions were proposed for Remente’s
existing product together with recommendations for how Remente should
approach Chalmers.
