Timeline
Delivered end-to-end product design, from research to final UI, within 8 weeks.
Background
After leaving clinical care, many heart patients struggle to manage daily routines like medication, sodium tracking, and symptom monitoring. Existing solutions are often complex and hard to follow, leading to confusion and missed actions.
The goal was to design a simple and structured experience that helps users stay consistent and understand their health clearly.
Process
Focused on simplifying complex health data into clear and easy-to-use experiences.
Research & Planning
Analyzed existing health apps and identified gaps in usability, clarity, and tracking consistency. Defined key features based on user needs such as reminders, visual indicators, and simplified tracking.
Design & Prototyping
Created user flows for daily tracking actions like medication, sodium intake, and symptom logging. Designed wireframes and high-fidelity UI screens with a focus on readability, minimal steps, and intuitive navigation.
Development & Implementation
Designed scalable UI components and structured layouts for consistent user experience. Ensured smooth interaction patterns and clear visual hierarchy across the app.
Solution
A structured mobile experience that combines tracking, alerts, and visual insights to help users manage heart health with ease and clarity.
Symptom Awareness
A visual gauge that represents the user’s health status from low to critical, calculated based on key inputs like sodium intake, weight, and medication.
Medication Reminder
Automated reminders notify users to take their medication on time, helping improve consistency and reduce the risk of missed doses.
Sodium Tracking
Tracks daily sodium intake and alerts users when they exceed the recommended limit, encouraging better dietary control.
Weight Monitoring
Monitors weight changes over time and notifies users of sudden increases, which can be an early indicator of health issues.
