Why Medicine Reminder?
Patients Struggled To Stay on Track with Their Medications
With a healthcare background, I teamed up with fellow designers to turn real patient and caregiver challenges into a supportive solution that improves medication routines and quality of life. Many patients relied on phone calls or static PDFs that often failed to keep them on track.

Analyzing Market & Competitors
Most Apps Focus on Individual Users, Leaving Caregivers and Complex Needs Behind
We analyzed three leading medication reminder apps to evaluate whether they truly meet patient and caregiver needs. Current apps address a narrow range of individual needs, overlooking families and caregivers managing complex schedules.

As We Conclude
This project helped me translate years of healthcare experience into a user-centered product that directly supports patients and caregivers. I learned how small UX choices like simplifying language, increasing touch target sizes, and offering clear visual feedback can greatly reduce stress for users managing medications. Most importantly, we discovered how defining specific personas early on (permanent users and caregivers) sharpened our focus and led to more relevant, impactful design decisions. Moving forward, I plan to validate the design through quantitative research, and ensure offline functionality for real-world reliability.
