Fun Fact
I unveiled this app at my thesis presentation at the Savannah College of Art and Design, soon after which I bagged the title of Excelsus Laureate 2019 and simultaneously got my job as a Product Designer at The Weather Channel: an IBM Business. This project was a turning point in my career as a UX Designer.
Pain Points
Brag Points
Family members and patient reminisce about happier times and positive memories which make the distance seem less intimidating
Helps the patient feel wanted and gives them importance
Allows the caregiver to connect with the patient on a more personal level
Builds trust between the patient, family member, and caregiver
Allows patient to connect with other patients facing similar issues
Flows
I constructed 3 flows to help inform my app screens:
1. Between the patient and caregiver
2. Between the patient and family member
3. Between the patient and another patient
App Features
Memories: All photographs shared between patient and their family member
Favorites: All posts that are ‘liked’
UPdates: Gratitude journal. Daily positive data log for the patient and family member to fill every night before they sleep
Badges: As a way of gamification, the app generates special badges for each user
Branding
I crafted a style tile to help me figure out the look and feel of the app. The logo went through a couple of iterations until I arrived at a monoline serif script.
Wireframes
User Personas
Final Prototype
I fleshed out each of the 3 flows on Figma.
