Project description
Healy is an iOS application for tracking and managing medications. It helps users (and their families) schedule doses, monitor progress, and stay motivated throughout treatment—all within a clean, minimal interface.
Objectives
Simplify medication scheduling
Enable multi-patient management
Motivate users to complete treatment courses
Maintain a clean, minimal interface
Deliverables
Welcome screen: brief intro for returning users
Calendar & scheduling interface: easy daily/weekly overview of medication plans
Medication search & details: access to a database with dosage info and guidelines
Multi-patient management: switch between different family members’ schedules
Booking interface: a streamlined booking form that collects essential travel information and initiates the payment process.
Progress & motivational features: Track completion rates and celebrate milestones
Minimalistic UI kit: consistent design elements to ensure clarity and ease of use
UX Constraints & solutions
Multiple family member: one major challenge was enabling users to manage multiple patients (e.g., children, elderly parents) under one account.
Minimalistic approach vs. complex data: balancing a clean interface with the need for detailed medication information.
Diverse treatment needs: not all medications have a “progress” to complete—some users need ongoing treatments for chronic conditions.

I conducted competitor analysis and interviewed users (including those managing multiple family members’ medications). These insights shaped Healy’s focus on simplifying medication schedules, tracking progress, and ensuring ongoing motivation.
Research & discovery
Сompetitive analysis
I reviewed apps like Medisafe, MyTherapy, and Apple Health, alongside indirect references such as Flo, Redcare.
Personas
To understand the challenges of managing multiple medications and caring for loved ones, I interviewed real users with diverse health conditions and daily routines. I spoke with a total of 5 respondents aged 25–60, each following unique medication regimens. Their insights revealed key pain points—from forgotten doses to confusing schedules—and highlighted opportunities to create a more supportive, motivating experience for everyone involved.
Maria
Chronic multiple sclerosis
26 years old
Persona 1
“When I’m traveling or my doctor isn’t available, having everything in one place—from timely reminders to all my essential documents—would make managing my condition so much easier.”
Refill & bureaucracy
Alena struggles with the complex, multi-step process of obtaining free medication. She needs timely reminders not only for taking my medicine, but also for scheduling doctor appointments, tracking the status of approvals, and managing all related tasks seamlessly.
Medical records
Consolidate prescriptions, certifications, and vital documents in one easily accessible place. This ensures she can quickly present all the necessary evidence of her condition to any new doctor or specialist, without scrambling for paperwork.
Travel constraints
Must plan injections around refrigeration requirements, often worrying about scheduling in new environments.
Michael
Manages his father’s serious heart condition and his own blood pressure
26 years old
Persona 2
“When I’m juggling my father’s critical heart meds and my own blood pressure pills, having one place to track it all—schedules, doses, and refills—would relieve so much stress.”
Multi-patient management
Must easily switch between his father’s medication schedule and his own to avoid confusion or missed doses.
Overdue alerts
Worries about forgetting a refill or a critical dose, especially for his father’s heart medication, which could have serious consequences.
Expiration date monitoring
Dmitri has heard cautionary stories about expired medications causing complications. He wants the app to alert him when a medication is nearing its expiration, ensuring that all treatments remain safe and effective.
Bianca
Child with seasonal allergies; parent’s own short-term vitamin regimen
32 years old
Persona 3
“With my child's allergy meds needed as pollen season nears and my own vitamin regimen in place, I need a smart reminder system that prompts us to start preventive treatment before symptoms hit.”
Early intervention
Many parents overlook the importance of starting allergy treatment before symptoms worsen. Anna needs proactive alerts to begin medication early, preventing sleep loss and academic disruptions for her child.
Multi-profile management
With her child’s allergy schedule and her own temporary vitamin regimen, she requires an intuitive interface to manage both profiles without confusion.
Flexible scheduling
The ability to quickly adjust treatment plans as seasonal conditions change is key, so that the medication plan remains effective and relevant.
Stages of work
Research & discovery
Gathered insights on user pain points (like managing multiple family profiles and tracking varied medication regimens), and benchmarked competitors.
Ideation & concept development
Defined a minimalist, neumorphic visual language that meets the client’s need for a clean, non-overloaded interface while emphasizing key interactions.
Research & Discovery
Gathered insights on user pain points (like managing multiple family profiles and tracking varied medication regimens), and benchmarked competitors.
UX design & user flows
Mapped out detailed user journeys (e.g., adding new medication, error handling for expired drugs, switching profiles) through comprehensive wireframes and interactive prototypes.
Iteration & final delivery
Refined high-fidelity screens based on testing and feedback, finalized the UI kit, and documented the process for a cohesive, ready-to-present project.

These user insights guided our design priorities: clean, uncluttered scheduling flows; easy multi-profile switching; and gamified motivation to support adherence.
Research constraints
Established routines vs. acute illness
People with chronic conditions often follow medication schedules automatically, needing fewer adjustments. In contrast, short-term but serious illnesses can demand more frequent changes.
People with chronic conditions often follow medication schedules automatically, needing fewer adjustments. In contrast, short-term but serious illnesses can demand more frequent changes.
Each condition needs a tailored flow, UX, and content. For instance, depression might require tracking daily mood even after medication ends. It’s challenging to cover all conditions—some lack clear progress markers or have fluctuating symptoms.
Different conditions, different needs
Individuals with chronic conditions, as well as their families, may be reluctant to discuss personal health issues, especially those involving children or loved ones. This makes it challenging to recruit participants willing to share in-depth.

Design & iteration
Seven core job stories were first set up via user interviews and competitor analysis, with five ranked then to be finally implemented within a 3-week period. A moodboard was compiled to find the visual direction, following which high-fidelity wireframes were designed to map out the important flows. Mockups were then built using a clean, neumorphic style to maintain the design simplicity and user need-focused.

For the main showcase, the user flow diagram “ Adding a New Medication” was selected as an example.

Job stories, wire frames & user tests
Selected flows were validated through moderated usability tests with 5 participants. Feedback led to improvements in information hierarchy, clearer navigation, and reduced task completion time—cutting user confusion for key scheduling tasks.

Examples of improvements based on user tests
#1 Adjusting information hierarchy on medication schedule screen
Users found the medication schedule screen overwhelming. The hierarchy was refined to clearly separate main sections and subsections, improving readability and focus.

#3 Prioritizing actions in expired medication notification
The notification for expired medications didn’t highlight the recommended action. "Try Again" became the primary button, while "Continue Anyway" was added as a secondary option for cases where users knowingly use older packaging and plan to update dates later.

#2 Removing extra loading screen
The loading screen during the medication data import felt unnecessary, as users already saw a progress bar while scanning the QR code. This step was removed to streamline the experience.

#4 Clearer CTA for skipping optional information
If users chose not to add or edit medication details on the Medication Details screen, the next step should not feel like forced duplication. The button label was changed to "Next" since this was not the final action, but simply moving forward.
