What I did Brand, Visual / UI Design, Interaction Design

Platform Mobile App (iOS) for Patient App

Thomas played a big part in the success of many projects in our time working together at Hanno. It would undersell his abilities to say that he's a great designer since he's actually capable of so much more, but he was exceptional in his ability to create UI systems for our digital products.

Problem Statement

People with diabetes are at risk for developing foot ulcers, or open sores on the surface of the skin. A high blood sugar level delays proper wound healing. Pressure or irritation on the foot can cause ulcers to form.

Based on the 2017 reports from the National Health Service (NHS) 4.5 million people in the UK have diabetes. An estimated 10% or around 450,000 of diabetes patients develop a foot ulcer at some point in their lives. More than 7000 diabetes related amputations are reported in the UK per year. These figures suggest that potentially 200,000 diabetes patients with foot ulcers may not be alive in 5 years and more than 5500 patients with diabetes related amputations every year have less than 5 years to live.

One of the best ways to slow down the growth of ulcers is to reduce the pressure. A diabetic boot can take some of the pressure off your foot when you’re walking. However, with the boot, you need to avoid walking as much as possible.

<aside> 🧑‍⚕️ For a clinician (podiatry) managing patients with diabetes can be challenging. Patient adherence is the key in healing diabetic foot ulcers due to the modalities removability. Patients also have to follow prescriptions related to physical activity which can and cannot be done.

Solutions

A British multinational medical equipment manufacturing company partnered with Hanno to develop an end-to-end solutions both for patients and clinician.

Patients will use an offloading boot that has been equipped with a beacon that can record the use of the boot, whether it is removed and natural activities such as sitting, standing, walking.

For patients, we developed a patient app that can be used to monitor activities and do some check-ins every day. While for clinicians, they can remotely monitor patient adherence and activity through a dashboard.

Hanno team did the work from understanding the clinician’s needs, creative direction, interaction & UI design to coding and deployment.
