Being diagnosed with a life altering disease is always a difficult experience. Novo Nordisk sought to ease this transition for patients with a web tool that would educate them about their disease and how to live their best life with it. This involved creating an application that they could use to help them remember when to take their medication, track their blood glucose levels, check in with their emotional or physical side-effects, and motivate them to stay on track. Based entirely off of user research and findings that show adherence is the number one problem with new type 2 diabetes patients, we developed an empathetic and supportive tool that helps solve just that. My role was a supporting UX/visual designer and copywriter on a talented team. Below you will see the empathetic process that set the groundwork for a truly life-changing application, followed by the final designs.
