Next Steps
In a real-world scenario, I would: 🤔
1. Conduct in-depth interviews with patients like Leon to validate our assumptions.
2. Engage with healthcare professionals to ensure our solution aligns with medical best practices.
3. Perform usability testing with prototypes to refine the user experience for our target demographic.
Research Insights
Key Research Insights That Guide Our Solution🔍
Our secondary research involved analyzing existing studies, reports, and articles available online. This comprehensive approach yielded several critical insights:
Time Efficiency
Personalized Well-Being
Solutions
Customized Chewable Pill Printer 🍩
Our solution, MediPrint, is a home-based drug printing system that leverages advanced 3D printing technology to revolutionize how individuals manage their medications.
All-in-One Pill Synthesis
Combines multiple medications into a single, easy-to-take pill.
On-Demand Medication Access
Reduces trips to the pharmacy and ensures medication availability 24/7.
Flavor and Form Customization
Offers enjoyable flavors and chewable options, eliminating the need to swallow pills.
Branding
Innovative Branding with Custom Capsules Design and a Robot Companion 🎨
Our central innovation is transforming the entire experience of taking medication. We've reimagined what has traditionally been seen as tedious and unpleasant into something enjoyable and effortless:
Tactical Palette and Interaction
We've carefully selected a purple-based color palette that conveys quality, wisdom, and calm. This is paired with an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
Medication Design
Each medication is designed with fun, tasty, and colorful flavors, turning the act of taking medicine into an enjoyable experience.
Robot Companion
We've designed a friendly robot character to guide users through the entire process. This character provides a sense of companionship and increases the app's trustworthiness.
This approach aims to make the medication routine more light-hearted, quicker, and more independent, particularly benefiting chronic patients whose mental state may have been affected by their condition.
Final Design
The Design That Brings Our Insights to Life 📱
Entry Questionnaire
All data is pre-populated from the user's health insurance information.
User interaction is minimized, requiring only verification of existing data.
While the initial questionnaire is comprehensive, it occurs only once and significantly streamlines future app usage.
Home screen
The transition from the wireframe to the final design focuses on personalization, replacing a generic interface with a user-centric experience.
The home screen dynamically adapts to each user, offering tailored alerts, relevant updates, and quick access to their medication history.
Notifications
The app's deep understanding of the user's medication regimen enables crucial updates:
Reminders to update prescriptions.
Alerts for low medication stock.
Daily medication reminders.
Positive Feedback
Throughout the user journey, the app provides positive reinforcement.
This gamification element encourages continued engagement and makes medication management more enjoyable.
Print Process Tracking
Users can monitor the printing process remotely.
This feature increases certainty and convenience, allowing users to check progress without being physically present next to the printer.
Final Design
Fun Addition 🍰
To present the project in class, I 3D printed the drug models using my 3D printer, allowing people to get a tangible sense of the designs.
Impact
Through this project, I learned: 🧠
Health-centric Design
Developed a comprehensive understanding of designing for users with specific health needs.
User-friendly Complexity
Learned to balance complex functionality with an intuitive user interface.
Research-driven
Learned the importance of research in understanding user needs and challenges.
