MedInspect - We change the lives of chronically ill people

Summary

The app will be able to scan the EAN code of a medication and complement the given data with additional information from the internet. The patient will be able to specify how to take the medication: two pills of medication A in the morning before eating, one pill of medication B at noon with food. Additionally, the app will prompt the patient to record how he actually took the medication. This results in a comparison: how the patient must take a medication and how he really took it. Based on this comparison, the patient can be informed on what he can improve to make himself feel better. Of course, the MedInspect app prompts the patient to take his medication as well.

Project goal

With our app, we aim to improve the medication-taking behavior of chronically ill patients and thereby enhance their quality of life.

Initial situation

The idea for the app came from our customer, who already had a rough idea of the app's functions. Through the agile process, we were able to get closer and closer to the end result sprint by sprint.

Results

• the patient can scan an eMedipan or the EAN code of a medication
• the app reminds the patient to take the medicine
• he intake can be reported
• he app displays a graphical comparison of the target and actual state of the intake behavior
• he app provides information on whether the intake behavior has improved or worsened

Project data

Project Duration: 2 Semesters
Total Man-Hours: 2'520h
Team Size: 7

Work developed during the semesters:

IP3

• User Flow: go through all screens and edit and delete/add screens in prototype if needed.
• Medicament Activation: The customer can scan an eMediplan or an EAN code and we can retrieve from an external database the information related to this medication. In addition, the patient can edit his medication if, for example, the prescription changes.

IP4

• Medication reporting: the patient can dry his inhalation behavior.
• Data visualization: the patient's intake behavior is displayed graphically.
• UI design: the app has a consistent UI design.
