Design process
Research
I began my research by studying how patientes learn of their diagnosis, the types of treatments available, and how the oncology hospital systems work. After conducting my studies and speaking to various nurses in the field, I began to look for pain points that could be alleviated. I soon learned about chemo-brain and the anxiety people endure when they begin to lose their memory and thought process. I decided to design a product that would help to alleviate a patient's anxiety by keeping them informed of their health and connecting them to their care team.
Medication management
The medication page allows patients to view their prescriptions, check when they should take them, and contact their pharmacy.
Always connected
The message section allows patients to stay in touch with their care team; alleviating anxiety and providing immediate help.
Appointment reminders alleviate patient's need to rely on their memory, which is especially heplful when suffering from chemo-brain.
