Even though I have only two pills to take, I forget to take my meds all the time. Medicine trackers are no novel concept but I wanted to take a stab at creating a really simple app that reminds people to take their medication, how they are supposed to take it, and set reminder for refilling medication.
Following the storyboard, I mapped out the application's site architecture for a deeper understanding of the moving parts and kept to three primary tabs. One tab is dedicated to an overview of gifts in progress and events, another for taking quizzes, and a dedicated space for collaboration.
There are three main flows. The dashboard will allow people to manage their notifications and then there would be a separate page to add new medication.
For the visual language I wanted it to feel a little less clinical and little more fun. I decided to use punchy colors and used the metaphors of bees because bees are efficient organized organisms just as the feeling I wanted people to feel using this app. Furthermore bees are pill shaped, a common visual symbol for medicine. I combined the pill shape and bee to make a medical character that is cute and friendly. The typeface I decided to use is Laca because it clean but has a little flare of personality.
There are two main flows. The first has most interaction in adding the medication and the second is focused on the interaction of responding to a notification.
I enjoyed creating the branding of this application. I especially think that the icon is friendly and recognizable. If I were to improve this application I would take the brand language a step further in the app to give the brand a stronger identity presence. In addition to adding on to the look and feel, I would break apart the steps of adding medication so that there is less information to fill out at a time. And lastly I would prototype for notifications for smart watches as well.
