DigiDoc

Inspiration

The current pandemic has put our priorities into perspective, demonstrating that caring for our health and the health of our loved ones is imperative. However, it has also become increasingly difficult to consult health care professionals in person and get treated, especially with common procedures such as blood tests. Thus, we designed an app called digidoc to support individuals in understanding and conveniently improving their health care needs.

What it does

DigiDoc is an evolutionary multi-functional app that gives consumers clear access to their medical information and helps them feel in control of their health. It provides its users with their medical history by simply scanning their health card and inputting data such as their age, height, weight and allergic reactions. Users are able to scan their symptoms to identify issues within their body through the comfort of their homes. The app identifies the symptoms and conditions, provides treatment options (both medical and naturopathic treatments) while also recommending possible doctors. The users can also connect with doctors on the app, schedule an appointment and even join health webinars. Based on the doctor’s recommendations, the user is also able to buy required medical equipment and medications through the app. This feature is performed through security questions and fingerprint scan as well as facial recognition to ensure younger children do not buy medications off the app. The app also monitors and updates the user's blood pressure and diabetes. If they are abnormal, an alert symbol and notification are sent to the user. Overall, the app is designed to provide medical support to the user from their home.

How we built it

We built the mockups/wireframes of DigiDoc using Figma and created our pitch deck with Canva.

Challenges we ran into

Since we were using Figma for the first time, we ran into many challenges on how to use the platform and insert specific components to our app design. For example, when running the app prototype, we realized that our app frames were too large to fit in the phone models and our design was scattered all over the place on the phone screen. We were unsure about what to do since our entire design was already complete. In order to solve this issue, we used Google and YouTube to search for possible solutions while also experimenting through Figma to help resolve the issue. Finally, we were able to determine how to resize the frames without compromising the information within the frames. In the end, our app design fit perfectly on the phone model.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Overall, we are proud of our Figma design as first time users of the platform. We were able to learn how to effectively develop a friendly and eye-catching user interface while also learning how to use a UI design software.

What we learned

This was our first time using Figma. Since it was our first time, we had the opportunity to learn to design an effective, user-friendly user interface using the elements of design and Figma features. We learnt about many unknown features within Figma that we were unaware of such as adding Plugins.

What's next for DigiDoc

For the future, Digidoc can further evolve to support more medical conditions as they are discovered by health professionals and scientists while also providing personalized healthcare to individuals from certified professionals on a global scale. In addition, an AI bot would also be developed to provide real human emotion when interacting with patients to help ease the pain of mental conditions and illnesses.
