Overview

The target audience for the app was pregnant women who would utilize the home ultrasound solution throughout their pregnancy. The app aimed to provide a seamless and comforting experience for women in various stages of pregnancy.

Challenges

User-Friendly Experience: Designed an intuitive mobile app to simplify self-scanning for pregnant women.

  • Reducing Anxiety: Ensured a stress-free process by providing clear guidance and reassurance.

  • Optimizing Healthcare Workflow: Improved resource management, productivity, and workflow for healthcare professionals.

My Approach

As one of two lead designers, I was involved in all project stages, from user research and defining objectives to wireframing, visual concepts, and user testing. My focus was on creating a user-friendly app that simplifies self-scanning and reduces anxiety for pregnant women.

Home screen progress indication

The home screen featured an endearing illustration of a pregnant woman, whose belly progressively grew over time, symbolizing the journey of pregnancy. This added touch of personalization created a deeper connection with the users, signifying that the app grows along with them throughout their pregnancy.

First Scan

The design principles focused on creating a warm and living experience, moving away from a cold medical aesthetic. The visual design incorporated round and soft shapes, a soft color palette in pink, purple, and red tones, and a clear and friendly font. Language was adapted to be more user-friendly and empathetic, reflecting the app's goal of providing a comforting environment.

We aimed to create a calm and reassuring experience for users, considering the anxiety associated with self-scanning at home. Through warm visuals, soothing colors, and friendly language, we guided users step-by-step, instilling confidence and relaxation. Our goal was to ensure pregnant women felt supported and at ease while using the app.

Scan quality indications

The app features a quality bar that ensures accurate scanning by indicating the tightness of the ultrasound device. The bar serves as a visual guide, alerting users if the device is not sufficiently tightened on one side. This intuitive feature helps users achieve optimal scan results, providing reassurance and enhancing the overall scanning experience.

Improved Scan Process

To ensure a user-friendly and comfortable scan experience, we introduced an informative intro screen, clear instructions, a tightness indication bar, and an optimized video layout with pause and step marking to prevent fatigue. At the end of the scan, users receive a digital polaroid of their ultrasound, which starts blank and gradually improves as technicians review the scan. Once finalized, users can share the image with family and friends, creating a memorable keepsake of their experience.
