User research :
summary

To better understand the users I'm creating for and their needs, I conducted interviews and produced empathy maps. Users often forget to take their medications as prescribed, and need reminders to do so. This is particularly true for users who have complex medication regimens, multiple medications, or cognitive impairments.

However, the study also revealed that some patients have trouble following to their prescription regimens because of side effects, which can be challenging to control. Others can be reluctant to take medication because of stigma or unfavorable attitudes of medicine.

Many users may not be familiar with using technology to manage their health, and may need additional support in learning how to use the app.

User Pain Points

The app may require the user to manually enter information about their medications, which can be time-consuming and prone to error.

The app must have a reliable alarm system to remind users to take their medications.

User Journey Map

Paper Wireframes

I started to put the idea into practice. It was beneficial to complete several of them so that I could rapidly begin evaluating the advantages, disadvantages, and "what-ifs" of each sketch. Since this was effectively the first time I could see all my many interpretations of what I first imagined the app should look like, it was intriguing to see the contrasts between each notion.

User-Friendly Interface

The app should have an intuitive and user-friendly interface, with clear and concise instructions for adding medications and setting reminders.

Support for Different Medication Regimens
