2 Weeks
Notion, Google Form/Sheets, Sketch, Axure
This is the last project I chose to work on to close my studies in Talent Garden. LibreLink is an application that, combined with body sensors, helps diabetic patients to better manage their blood sugar.
I've worked entirely on my own, from research to prototyping.
Until a few years ago, blood glucose measurements for diabetic patients required a drop of blood, various accessories and pain for some people. Now Freestyle Libre with its sensors has done nothing but make this blood glucose check faster and painless.
LibreLink is an app that, associated with the Libre sensors applied on the body, allows you to obtain the glucose measurement with a single tap of the phone on the sensor.
I chose to work on this app because I have been a type 1 diabetic myself for over 20 years and I use these sensors every day because of their simplicity in managing blood sugar levels;
obviously this system is not free from defects, both on the hardware side and on the software side, and it is precisely here that I decided to go to work with this project:
Smartphone glucose measurements
was therefore to make the user experience of this app as linear as possible, from obtaining the sensors to the more meticulous management of the collected data.
Obviously, since it is a glucose control app, my target was made up of diabetics, users of Freestyle Libre sensors.
Over the course of a week, I tried to gather as much information as possible about what worked and what they didn't like about the current experience of using the Freestyle Libre app.
5 diabetics interviewed, all users of Freestyle Libre sensors.
More than 200 valid answers always collected by diabetics.
During this first week I had the opportunity to go to a local medical point (ASL) to request a new supply of sensors and I took the opportunity to ask some questions to those who, like me, were there to get new sensors.
