Medical App
As part of an ongoing UI/UX course, the aim is to design a heartbeat monitor app. The app is designed with university students in mind where energy drink consumption, lack of sleep and exercise, and sometimes binge eating can cause the heart rate to increase. The app will act as an alert, suggesting a change to a healthier lifestyle.
Please find the process at the bottom of this page
“Dr. Sinha recommends tracking your heart rate as well as keeping a journal of which activities are causing higher heart rates. Then use that information to make changes”
Functionality of the App
User places finger on the camera behind the phone
Pressing the "Lets Go" button starts the heart monitoring process
If their BPM is under 100 then a green message appears confirming their heart beat is at a normal rate
However above 100 BPM a red message appears and suggests various daily activities which could improve users heart beat
Process
Use the side arrows to navigate
A mood board was created to start to get the feel of the app. The app uses vector like graphics to associate a more fun and positive mood due to the fact that users are university students
A pattern library is important to illustrate various buttons that the app has
Concept idea 1 - The black and dark orange tones give off a less fun mood to the user as it could be argued that it appears more academic
Concept 2 - This has a better choice of colour. However all 3 screens appear too clogged up. This might make text hard to read. Fewer pages might ne necessary to reduce too much time spent on the app
