Project Summary

WDI built a two-part mobile app for a senior care startup (SimpliTend), designing interfaces for users over 65 and developing native iOS and Android apps focused on patients and caregivers. The team produced functional design artifacts and is mid-way through UX design; the engagement began in January 2023 and remains ongoing. The client praised WDI's problem-solving, responsiveness, and delivery of promised milestones via email and Zoom communication.

Key Challenges

Build a two-part mobile app with separate interfaces for the main user and the caregiver
Design a usable UX for older adults (65+) who may have difficulty with touchscreens
Simplify the phone interface to avoid pop-ups and scams while ensuring ease of use

Project Deliverables

No third-party plugins used in phase one

Project Solution

WDI has built the application from scratch, taking the client's concept and requirements and handling development and functional design. They created simplified UX flows tailored for seniors to avoid pop-ups and scam calls, implemented patient location and return-home functionality, and built caregiver notifications. For phase one they delivered native iOS and Android apps without third-party plugins, and they prepared the schedule and functional design while continuing UX work.
