Never Miss a Dose: Manage Medication with Our App
Pillminder is a free app that reminds users to take their medications, track their health measurements, and exercise.
With easy-to-use features, Pillminder helps users manage their medication schedule and provides information on potential side effects. It's a great tool for those with complex medication regimens or chronic illnesses.
Many patients forgot to take medicine on time that might end up in unpleasant circumstances. Available medication apps have crowded content, less use friendly interface and difficult navigation, hence user avoid using it.
Design an intuitive and user-friendly app to help people remember to take medicine on and support them in medication management A well-designed medication reminder app can help improve medication adherence and promote better health outcomes.

Conducting interviews, paper and digital wireframing, low and high-fidelity prototyping, conducting usability studies, iterating on accessibility, designs and determining information architecture and responsive design.
I conducted several interviews and built empathy maps to better understand the needs, wants, motivations, and pain points of end-users.
The majority of interview participants reported trying medication reminder apps in the past, but found them difficult to manage and navigate.
Feedback gathered from this research highlights that users are willing to use a medication reminder app if it is user-friendly.
In addition, end-users will use the app if it has intuitive navigation and supports them in managing their medication and overall health.

Ideation exercise supported me to come up with some ideas for how to address gaps identified in the competitive audit. My focus was to offer simple and intuitive medicine management solution for the end-user.
As the initial design phase continued, I made sure to base screen designs on feedback and findings from the user research.
Using the completed set of digital wireframes, I created a low-fidelity prototype. The primary user flow I connected was add medication for later reminder through the app.

In response to the high demand from users, I have taken steps to improve their experience by introducing a new feature: profile accounts.
By creating a profile account, users can now have a more personalized and customized experience on the app.
Most users wanted to store more data regarding medication, hence Unit, Dose Per take, Frequency has been added.
In addition, the user flow has been split into two steps to ensure prevention of crowded content and smooth processing.
The final high-fidelity prototype presented cleaner user flows for building PillMinder and mere medication management process.
It also met user needs a simple and intuitive navigation.

To enhance the visual hierarchy of our platform, I have implemented big-sized buttons with varying background colors. This design choice makes it easier for users to identify and interact with different features on the app, thus improving their overall user experience.
I have improved the navigation experience on the app by using both icons and text descriptions. This way, users can easily locate and access the various features and functions available to them.
Post the app designs finished, I undertook designing the responsive website. I used PillMinder site map to guide the organizational structure of designed screens to ensure smooth transition and consistency across devices.
The designs for screen size variation included Mobile, Tablet and Desktop. Since created Mobile App, I designed landing page for Website and Table Users to increase awareness and have basic data about app features and testimonials.

While designing PillMinder, I realized that first drafts are only ideas which helps you have something to show to the potential end-user. In reality, your designs are shaping upon usability studies and feedback collected from the potential end-users. Proper going through design process allow me to come up with feasible and useful solutions.
The app makes users feel safe and happy that they have simple solution that meet their basic needs and prevent them to miss medicine take.
