User Research
Following initial research involving a competitive analysis, we prepared three color versions of the app to test and discuss with our target users.
These design versions were tested with a group of 20 pregnant women.
​
User Research Findings
Based on interviews feedback, the preferred UI design featured a lilac color scheme.
​
Pain Point 1
Users faced limitations in accessing expert assistance when needed.
The absence of an emergency call option and video call option in chat feature left them feeling isolated and without immediate guidance during critical moments.
Pain Point 2
Users found the daily routine tasks to be tedious and lacking in engagement or interest. Users needed more engaging and rewarding activities to maintain their interest and commitment.

Gamification to maintain engagement and motivation in daily monitoring tasks.
​
