SOLUTION BASED ON CORE VALUES

An Experience Based on Inclusivity, Literacy, and Accessibility

We can measure the success of a design only when it reaches the user. When it’s accessible. Designing for Accessibility and Inclusion is not just a concept for the minority or people with disabilities. I believe that It’s about making considerate decisions to maximize ease of use for more people so it can be easily approached and used. To equally benefit from using a product.

Meduce is designed to help guide those who struggle with understanding their medication.

Easily Switch Between Saved Languages

Meduce breaks down barriers in language, so all users feel safe and knowledgeable during their drug treatment process.

Safely Check for Drug Interactions

Users can check for any drug interactions in one place to avoid mistreatment.

Scan, Find & Log

It can be hard to remember, search and find the correct drug. Users can accurately search and quickly check for any interactions.

Medication Adherance Rate

In Canada, there is a high percentage of immigrants, making it one of the most diverse countries in the world. However,

Understanding scalability: If the app has to be scaled up, this allows maintaining a consistent design and UX/UI experience easier. Reduced confusion and errors or misunderstandings among users, which can negatively impact their overall experience and trust in the app. Revisions or updates to the app's design made easier to avoid, costly, and slow development process.

Prioritizing accessibility

The app should be accessible to as many people as possible, including those with visual, hearing, or other disabilities. Consider the use of contrasting colors, clear typography, and alternative text for images.

Overall, a well-designed design system can greatly improve the experience of the app by providing consistency, prioritizing user needs and goals, and creating an aesthetically pleasing and memorable brand identity.

The goal of. this project was learning to create a product that is constantly evolving and improving to meet the needs of its users.
