Problem Statement
How might we empower individuals to better manage their personal health by addressing the lack of accessible, affordable, and value-aligned tools for tracking and understanding health data?
Proposed Solution
We designed Healthwise, a health management mobile app that allows users to manage and understand their personal health data, support informed decision-making, and promote long-term well-being.
Our initial research process followed three parts — conceptual, empirical, and technical. We grounded our thinking in values-driven principles for solutions.
Discovery
Methods
To dive deeper into the problem space, we applied the following mixed-methods approach grounded in value-sensitive design to help us understand user needs.
Stakeholders
We began our conceptual investigation by conducting stakeholder analysis to make sure we considered several different groups of people that might be involved by our app.
Value Sources
We interviewed over 10 people and found that these values were some of the most crucial:
Design Systems
Information Architecture
Final Design
Onboarding
Home Screen
User Profile
Symptom Checker
Health Records
Provider Search
Med Management
