Overview
Beyond FOMO is a concept project that was selected by EA Sports among just 7 finalists globally out of 250+ student submissions—a recognition of its originality, relevance, and bold thinking. The project reimagines how we engage with digital platforms by shifting the focus from addictive, fear-driven experiences to mindful, meaningful connections. In a world ruled by constant notifications and curated highlight reels, Beyond FOMO offers a counter-narrative—one where users are encouraged to slow down, reflect, and reclaim control. Rooted in the principles of intentional design, the platform fosters real value over viral moments, helping users step away from comparison culture and reconnect with what truly matters.
People, especially Gen-Z go through FOMO which affects their mental health.
In today’s hyper-connected world, digital platforms often exploit the fear of missing out (FOMO) to keep users constantly engaged, leading to anxiety, distraction, and a lack of intentional presence. There is a growing need for digital spaces that prioritize well-being, authenticity, and mindful interaction over algorithm-driven engagement and comparison culture.
A Mindful Alternative to FOMO-Driven Platforms
Beyond FOMO introduces a digital platform designed to counter the anxiety-inducing effects of FOMO by promoting intentional engagement, emotional well-being, and digital mindfulness. The experience is crafted to slow users down—through reflective prompts, meaningful content, and human-centered interactions—helping them focus on real connections instead of comparison. By shifting away from algorithm-led feeds and towards curated calm, the platform empowers users to reclaim their time, attention, and peace of mind in an overstimulated world.
