Iithegi: Mobile App, Interaction Design, User interface, Mobile UI, User Experience, UI/UX Design
Ubuchwepheshe Bokuvelisa: PolarCare was designed with Figma, using user-centered design methodologies, A/B testing, and iterative prototyping.
Umngeni Woyilo: The biggest challenge was balancing clinical rigor with emotional accessibility. The adaptive UI required extensive testing to ensure smooth transitions accommodating fluctuating cognitive capacity without overwhelming vulnerable users. Another challenge was integrating evidence-based psychiatric principles into an interface that felt supportive and non-stigmatizing while maintaining medical accuracy. Ensuring HIPAA compliance, crisis-state usability, and inclusivity for users experiencing manic or depressive episodes was also a key focus.
Uphando: This project involved qualitative research, usability testing, and clinical psychology studies to understand bipolar disorder management behaviors. The research explored medication adherence patterns, cognitive load during mood episodes, and family caregiver involvement, using semi-structured interviews with 24 participants including patients, psychiatrists, and caregivers. These findings shaped the app's adaptive interface, simplified emotional vocabulary, and collaborative care features.
