A Community in Need of Support— Implementing Design Thinking to Attend to Known Pain Points:

UXR & UXD

Personal UX Project, 2020

This personal project was developed as an attempt to help the ever-growing community of Lyme Disease patients. Such a tricky and hard to navigate disease begs for clarity and answers to lasting health. Lyme Light allows patients to track their symptoms + medications while interacting with chronic illness communities to find solutions and comfort. Lyme Light features a customizable symptom and medicine tracker that allows people to log their daily experiences with and treatment of Lyme. The research around this application focuses on how to simplify the complicated nature of tracking a polysymptomatic disease and a framework to develop support groups and research for an under studied disease.
