Design Brief
The exacerbation of the disease, self-blaming, slow pace of treatment, etc. What do you do to be reminded of your medicines?
In this project, we were asked to design an application for those who are taking medicines, to help them use their medicines on time. But the designed application is not just a reminder.

UX Research Draft
To stay concentrated around the goal, we have jotted down all of the questions we had for the users, markets and industry before starting the process of conducting the research. Some of the questions of UX research draft documents are:
- What is the trend of usage amongst consumers?
- How are they meeting their needs nowadays?
- When is our application going to be of use for them?
- What are the demerits and Achilles heels of our rival teams?
- Which feature of our rival applications are most loved amongst users?
- What circumstances are acting as a contributor to the phenomena of forgetting one’s drugs?
Competitive Analysis
A competitive analysis is to group and evaluate competitors in order to find their strengths and weaknesses when compared to ours:
Interview
- When I am going to be running out of vital medicines of mine, I always tend to forget to recharge them.
- I forgot to check the medicine interactions, which led to being sent to the hospital.
- My brother and I gave our mom the same drug twice a day, which resulted in her getting in a bad condition.
- I need to share my mother’s drug usage, routine, pattern, the trend with my brother.
- I am not well aware of my drugs’ names, I just find them out using their colors.

Affinity Mapping
According to the results of the conducted research, we successfully classified users into two major classes, based on the user goal factor. All of which help in discovering the user persona.
User Persona
User persona is used as a simple tool to create our product with a specific target user.
Ideation
Information Architecture
Based on our persona’s needs, pains and barriers we agreed on three core functions.
User Flow

Test
Usability Test
After the visual design, we ran the "Usability Testing" method with four participants to assess our design's ease of use and user-friendliness. The test was conducted over Skype video calls where the participants were given the following tasks while we observed how they navigated through the application. The participants were able to navigate through the app easily. They gave us the following suggestions to improve the user experience:
- Add a close button for the calendar
- Add doctors' appointments to the homepage
- Highlight the next drug
