Functionalities
The app allows users to perform three main functions

Reminders

These allow users to schedule treatment-related activities, such as medical appointments or taking medication. Each can be configured to send notifications on the chosen day and time.

Symptom registry

The evolution of the disease and effectiveness of the treatment are measured through the symptoms, which allow health professionals to understand the state of each patient. In a simple way, users can make daily records for each part of the body.

Self-managed tests

The realization of specific tests for each disease allows a personalized follow-up of the evolution of each patient. All the information is stored in the patient’s mobile device, and is reviewed by the medical professional at each consultation.

The work on this tool for health treatment of chronic diseases represented a challenge for the exercise of empathy and permanent attention, fundamentally in the form of use and the tone through which each available function is communicated.

Preliminary research revealed the need to incorporate voice functionalities for better accessibility, a possibility that should be considered for future updates.
