Diabetes Wellbeing App

Diabetes E-learning and Health Tracker App

Having previously developed e-learning modules tailored for clinicians, our client envisioned extending their impact by creating an intuitive app designed to empower diabetes patients in managing their health journey. The envisioned app would serve as a centralised hub where patients could seamlessly monitor their e-learning progress while also tracking their overall diabetes health via a suite of integrated features, including a health tracker, appointment scheduler, goal tracker, and access to online resources.

Anticipating future needs, the client aspired to foster a sense of community among users by incorporating a dedicated forum where patients could engage in supportive dialogue, share insights, and exchange advice regarding their health experiences.

Central to the project's scope was the development of key functionalities: the health tracker, goals tracker, and sessions (clinician appointments) tracker. Integration was paramount, ensuring that changes in health metrics, such as weight fluctuations, dynamically influenced associated goals and proactively flagged relevant clinician appointments.

Navigating the project, we addressed various user experience considerations, with a primary focus on accommodating elderly users with limited technological proficiency. Usability took precedence over aesthetics, driving the design ethos towards simplicity, clarity, and accessibility. The interface was crafted to offer intuitive navigation, leveraging bold, descriptive elements to facilitate easy comprehension and swift information retrieval within the confines of a compact screen real estate.

In essence, our endeavour aimed not only to streamline diabetes management but also to create an app that prioritises patient empowerment, community engagement, and well-being.
