COPD Therapy App design
Show case introduction to this project I worked on with Smiths Medical.
My role
I partnered with the Smiths Medical R&D team to design a high-fidelity prototype for user acceptance testing (UAT). I owned the end-to-end digital design and UI, collaborating closely on user research and content adaptation. I also developed the working prototype using jQuery Mobile to support animations, and worked with an internal animator to bring instructional illustrations to life in a format suited to real-world patient use
The acapella Choice COPD device, with it’s printed patient user guide.
Outcomes
- Improved patient understanding and satisfaction
- Animated steps and simplified copy supported accessibility needs
- Enabled users to navigate therapy with greater confidence
- Identified future opportunity for device connectivity (out of scope for MVP)
- Delivered a validated proof of concept
- Further development paused pending additional investment
The prototype allowed us to test hypotheses, prior to any extensive development investment.
