Mpox Smart
Designed to detect Mpox symptoms through clear photo capture and accessible guidance.
Challenge
Designing a resource-efficient app that ensures accurate Mpox detection while maintaining a seamless user experience was a significant challenge. The target audience included users with limited technical expertise and older smartphones, necessitating an intuitive interface and robust performance across diverse environments:
Ensuring clear and accurate photo capture for reliable detection.
Optimizing the app for low-resource devices without compromising usability.
Process
I began by understanding the target audience through research, focusing on their needs and constraints. Next, I sketched initial wireframes to define the app’s structure and user flow. Using iterative feedback, I developed high-fidelity designs in Figma, prioritizing simplicity, accessibility, and compatibility with low-resource devices. Throughout, I ensured the app adhered to usability principles while addressing key challenges.
