Conzept
ReHealth is an innovative health and rehabilitation concept, leveraging cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to facilitate and enhance patient rehabilitation. Central to this concept is the SmartBrace, an intelligent device that constantly tracks and monitors patient activity, especially their exercise routines. This data can be analyzed and monitored by physiotherapists to tailor and adapt highly effective rehabilitation exercises for each individual patient.
Challenges
The project was marked by three major challenges. The first challenge was to effectively present data in a visually appealing and easily comprehensible manner, necessitating a blend of technical and creative skills.
The second challenge involved the incorporation of interconnected wireframes into the design process. This component required careful planning and organization to ensure accuracy and consistency across all elements.
The third challenge required a deep understanding of branding and design principles, with a particular focus on color use, to craft a unique, user-friendly interface that could stand out in a highly competitive market.
results
Through the process of investigating various injuries, with a particular focus on ACL tears, we gained a comprehensive understanding of corresponding rehabilitation exercises and existing technologies for exercise data collection. Conducting interviews with ACL tear patients proved instrumental in creating a user journey and identifying potential improvements. Consultations with doctors provided invaluable insights into the shortcomings of current rehabilitation programs. The creation of paper prototypes and wireframes was a practical step in testing the effectiveness of our ideas before progressing to the final screen design.
