The Challenge

In the beginning, the idea was to create a mobile application that would serve both the patients and their caregivers in people’s homes and nursing centers. Patients would be reminded when to take which medicine and caregivers would be able to supervise this.

The cooperation began with a takeover of the application that our client had ordered from another company. While the result of their work fulfilled the acceptance criteria, it also unfortunately produced an app that barely functioned. Following our analysis, a decision was made that the cheaper solution would be to use some of the findings from the former development stage, but remake the application with strong focus on its functionality and future extensibility.

The result is a solution that corresponds graphically and functionally to what today's users are used to. When designing the user interface, we prioritized the expectations of the target group which includes older people. Taking this approach, we managed to create an application that can be used by virtually anybody.

There is a well worked-out method of notifications in the app that alert both the caregivers and the patients about any possible problems regarding taking medication.

The monetization model is based on two pillars. The first group consists of patients who prefer not to share usage information and use the option to pay for unlimited functionality through a one-time payment. The second one is represented by nursing services, who can purchase the application for their caregiving employees and clients.
