The Brief
Having worked with The App Business on previous successful projects, I was contacted to work on an app for AgeUK – one of their charity clients. The requirement was to create an MVP, targeted to be used by elderly and vulnerable people and would be available on both iPhone and Apple Watch devices. Because of this, accessibility was a high priority in any consideration of the overall user experience.
The Project
An MVP version of the app was created to monitor the vital statistics and habits of the focus group – this also linked with Apple’s health statistics. These data points were then sent to the user’s phone and watch through the app, and could be monitored by friends and family, as well as a specialised call centre. The app would detect any falls or accidents, a high, low or irregular heart rate, increases or decreases in usual activity, as well as incorporating an SOS button in case of emergency. Accessibility was paramount and we stress tested the scaling of text across devices to ensure the layout made sense and legibility remained.
