Daily Medication (graduation project)

Whats the project about?

14 Januari 2022 - 14 June 2022

This is my latest significant project, which was also my graduation project. It was created for the "Huisartsencentrum van Velserbroek" and it focuses on people who are on long-term daily medication but do not always take their medication daily. While this may not seem like a significant issue, not taking medication regularly can lead to many risks, depending on the medication. Therefore, the goal of this project was to come up with a digital solution to address this problem.

This project was the most challenging one I've worked on because motivating people to take their medication every day is not an easy task. After a few failed attempts, I developed a mobile application that combines a daily medication reminder with a tamagotchi-style game. That's right, a tamagotchi app. Tamagotchis can be addictive and nostalgic for some people, making them feel like they need to care for something even if it's just a few pixels on a screen. Combining the care for the virtual pet with the daily medication reminder encourages users to take care of themselves as well. There are many reasons why I chose this solution, and if you're interested, feel free to ask.

Using Adobe XD, I created the prototype, and for the illustrations and animations, I utilized Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects. This project was challenging, with several highs and lows, but I'm proud of the outcome after nearly six months of work.
