MediOrganizer

Overview

MediOrganizer is a lifeline for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients who need to manage an overwhelming medication routine, often 10 to 20 pills a day.

Keeping track of what to take, when to take it, and how it interacts with other medications can be stressful and confusing. That’s where the MediOrganizer app steps in.

Problem Statement

⁉️ The Problem

CKD Patients take 10-20 pills daily, making medication management overwhelming. They also need to monitor their hemoglobin (HB) levels regularly. The challenge was to simplify tracking and ensure consistency with ease.

🚨 Why was this problem important?

Missing medications can have serious health consequences for CKD patients, making consistent intake crucial. Designed with older users in mind, the app ensures they can easily manage their meds and monitor their health, helping them maintain a stable and healthy life.

🥲 User pain points and business challenges

Older users often face challenges with accessibility, so the design needed to prioritize a simple navigation flow and clarity. On the business side, the project had to be delivered within a tight budget and a one-month timeframe for the initial release.

Goals & Objectives

1. Easy Medication Addition

Streamline the process of adding medications through intuitive methods, including barcode scanning and a search function to ensure users can easily input their prescriptions.

2. Medication Reminders

Implement timely notifications to remind users about taking their medications, improving adherence and routine.

3. Stock Reminders

Enable users to receive stock alerts when medication supplies are running low, ensuring timely refills.

4. Pill Identification

Provide features for users to easily differentiate between various pill shapes, sizes, and colors to enhance clarity and avoid medication errors.

5. Medication Intake Tracking

Allow users to log and monitor their medication intake, helping them stay on track and providing a clear history for personal reference or medical consultations.

6. Hemoglobin (Hb) Value Tracking

Enable users to record and track their Hb levels over time, offering insights into trends and supporting better health management decisions.

Research & Discovery

Before I joined the project, the Research & Discovery phase was complete, including workshops, patient journeys, user stories, and concept validation to confirm the app’s need.

These insights provided a strong foundation, allowing me to focus on designing an intuitive and accessible experience for CKD patients.

Competitor Research

We analyzed Apple Health, MyTherapy, TOM, and Mediteo to identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities. While Apple Health lacks reminders, MyTherapy excels in adherence tracking, and TOM and Mediteo focus on reminders and pill scanning.

These insights helped shape MediOrganizer to prioritize ease of use, personalized reminders, and hemoglobin tracking for CKD patients.

Ideation & Concept Development

Building on the Research & Discovery insights, I mapped out the core user flow and developed initial concepts. Through team discussions and iterations, the design evolved into a simpler, more intuitive experience, ensuring usability and accessibility for CKD patients.

⚔️ A challenge worth mentioning about: Medication Scheduling Complexity

⚔️ A challenge worth mentioning about: Medication Scheduling Complexity

Designing the "Add Medication" flow was challenging due to the need for custom schedules, varying dosages, and different intake times. An example from patient's perspective:

Monday: Takes 1 pill at 8:00 AM
Tuesday: Takes 2 pills, at 8:00 AM and at 4:00 PM
Thursday: Takes 3 pills, x1 at 9:30 AM and x2 at 6:00 PM

This made the design complex because:

Different schedules per day – Some days require one dose, others multiple.
Varying intake times – Medication times aren’t always consistent.
Changing dosages – The number of pills per intake can differ.

After multiple iterations, we streamlined the process to ensure a smooth additing of medications covering essential customizations. Since deep customization—such as highly irregular schedules—was needed by only a small subset of users, we decided to exclude it from this release, focusing on a cleaner, more intuitive experience for most users.

Final Designs

Here are the final UI designs for MediOrganizer – a user-centric app designed to simplify medication tracking for CKD patients. These designs prioritize clarity, accessibility, and a smooth user experience, making complex health management effortless.
