How to Bring Asthma Management into Home?
Parents have busy lives + a hard time getting reliable information - places they go
• Online Support Groups • Advocacy Sites • Google
Answers/ solutions get confusing with confliciting facts
Statistics
• Pediatric asthma prevalence (Chicago): 12.9%
• Significant neighborhood variability: 0 - 44%
• Pediatric asthma mortality + hospitalization in Chicago 2x national average

Issues

Insights
Parents + kids aren’t on same page about asthma management
Asthma apps solve one solution
Parents don’t have one reliable place to go for information


Prototyping

Inspiration
My goal was to create a double ended app for two generations that need to communicate about medical information
I needed to find a clear way to show the most relevant information to both audiences, so visual chunking was the best way to organize this
More information/ support/ resources would be on the app as well, but not highlighted on the front page

Part I: Product + UI
Slow cookers haven’t been innovated on in years
A product known to live in the “kitchen graveyard”
How do we update + better market slow cookers for people?

UI







Logo
Our goal was to remove “slow cooker” from association as we redesigned
Part II: Branding
Brand Goals
We wanted our line of products to represent
Earthy, Energetic, Futuristic
My team worked on packaging and logo; I focused on color research + web layout
Colors

Inspiration
The colors had to represent these brand principles
I explored color stories that gave these feelings of earthy, energetic, futuristic while staying in the kitchen arena
