Epsy is helping people with epilepsy live better lives. I was leading early stage designs for a new healthcare platform to disrupt the way people interact with digital health tools and their wellbeing. Epsy health app is a vital digital tool that helps people connect, interact and engage with epilepsy community, learn and understand about their condition and have better conversations with their doctors.
The central idea of the app is to ensure people have a digital diary that tracks their everyday changes - either in epilepsy or side effects or triggers. One of the most important aspects in diagnosing and treating epilepsy is medication adherence - something that even the most enthusiastic patients find difficult to maintain. We try to make it easier for people to track their medication by creating push notifications, its Widgets, and lots of delightful motion design around the experience in the app.
Ensuring that experience is uninterupted and delightful, even when someone is offline is crucial. We want to make people feel they are in a safe and nurturing space, so we created designs for every state - either your internet's gone wonky, or we have a data processing issue, these things happen and we can make sure our products respond well to mishaps.
Epilepsy as a neurological disorder that has been discovered long time ago - it's actually one of the oldest found disorders in history. And yet, the information and education surrounding this condition is still very sparse and limited. There is stigma attached to epilepsy and a lot of folk still have no idea what to do and how to behave with a person who is having seizures. That's why we spent a great deal of time to create a space where people can share and read stories of like minded individuals and spread the knowledge.
I have been working on a data driven web platform for healthcare professionals that can show real time patient data. This presents an enormous possibilities for healthcare professionals to access, interpret and take corrective actions and help patients build better treatment solutions.
