During quarantine, I decided to learn Adobe XD and dip my toe into the world of UX. Since this was a side project, I decided to intersect app design with my personal interest in healthcare. The outcome of this intersection is an app that puts the control over your hospital stay back in your hands. Research shows that if hospitals provide patients with a sense of control over their surroundings, positive distractions, and access to social support, they can promote an environment of well-being and decreased stress. By decreasing patient stress and increasing their well-being, hospitals can shorten the length of stay for each patient which directly affects costs. With this knowledge in hand, I set out to design an app that would provide those assets to patients right from their hospital bed.
