Back in 2020, I was diagnosed with a health condition that required surgeries. My past experience of being a patient inspired me to solve health challenges with UX.

Design a mobile app for young adults, so they remember taking medications on time and personalize their schedules easily.

1. Deliver a solution to a challenging healthcare problem
‍
2. Identify and prioritize opportunities
‍
3. Define the scope for the first MVP

At the beginning, I identified three key metrics to measure and evaluate the success of the product solution.

By conducting quantitative and qualitative research, I discovered the underlying problems and frustrations when it comes to medication reminders, management, and scheduling. During the interviews, the conversations with the participants provided valuable insights that drove my design solution.

To understand common challenges young adults/patients face in their journeys. In addition, to identify any frustrations and struggles when people skip any meds throughout the day.

There are two types of personas based on the research. For this MVP, I focused on users like Hetty Tylor who has ongoing health conditions and takes medications regularly.

In order to gain insights into the digital products that are designed to help people with their medication scheduling, I evaluated 4 mobile apps as shown in the following.

Pillog’s primary features allow users to customize medication schedules, track daily progress, receive reminders, and retrieve drug information easily. The MVP focuses on the onboarding experience and medication reminder setup flow for new users—ensuring it is intuitive, quick, and personalized.

System: iOS only

The IA shows the overall structure of Pillog. Working on this framework allowed me to plan where the key functions live on the app and help users complete their medication tasks.

Sketches highlight the primary user flow, navigation, and CTAs—including features of reminder, pill identifier, and flexible scheduling.

Based on the usability tests, there were three major themes around Home Screen, Pill Identifier, and Reminder Setup.

Based on the insight, I reorganized the structures of the home screen and made a few additional modifications regarding the product's functionality. The final design of the app, along with interactive prototypes, will be displayed below.

2023 Global UX Design Award: Nomination.

Medication Adherence: Streamline the medication reminder setup and improve adherence.

Feasibility: The app was designed to shape the future of digital health.
