Team: Shruti KNR, Dhruv S, Riccardo C                                                                                                                                                 

Erica is an app which helps people undergoing medication to take their doses on time by reminding them in a subtle but engaging manner.       Understanding how graphical user interface can enrich user experiences. Designing an engaging experience through animations. 

The challenge was to chose a situation which could be improved using Graphical User Interactions.Taking the experience of people undergoing medication by reminding them to take their doses on time.

 

Our chosen focus has been to come up with a holistic Graphical User Interface, by creating a seamless navigation and interactivity.To improve the experience of being reminded about a medication, mapping the intake and also for easy organisation and scheduling,  animations which were subtle yet engaging were created.

 

  • Scanning Prescription directly to alter form complexity.
  • Motivation by near/dear ones
  • Ordering Medicines when the dose is finishing
  • Contacting Pharmacy and Doctor

The wireframes were further iterated and narrowed down to create
a simple navigation for the task of taking medicine.
The challenge was to create a medicine intake less daunting.
