Healthcare App (iPad)
A tablet app enabling employees to self-administer on-demand hearing tests at their facility using a handheld audiometer.
Problem
Redesign the Salux app flow to make it simple and intuitive for users with low tech literacy, limited education, or visual/hearing challenges (e.g., factory/construction workers). Focus on visual cues, minimal text, and easy navigation for independent hearing tests.
Outcome
Redesigned the app, simplified for the targeted users. Through research and testing, I created an intuitive interface with visual cues, minimal text, and easy navigation, enabling users to independently conduct hearing tests. The result is a highly accessible, user-friendly app.
