Intu

Wearable & a medical app collaboration designed for anaphylaxis sufferers.

Intu was created for those who suffer from severe allergies and are constantly on edge for the next attack to happen. Because these sufferers are constantly on edge about surviving an attack, a panic attack may ensue that has similar effects on the body. It’s extremely difficult to decipher what is a panic attack and what is an allergy attack, so to be safe, many inject themselves with their Epi-Pen. If it’s a panic attack, they just gave themselves a huge dose of adrenalin and will now feel much worse.

Challenge: How do we create an intuitive & responsive app that someone can navigate while in a panic?

Solution: Home screen with responsive measurement of blood oxygen level. Clear categories to add symptoms if blood oxygen is normal.

Outcome: An app that shows a panicked user their blood oxygen level as normal or concerning soon as they open the app. Ability to input symptoms to get a better understanding if they are experiencing slight allergy or anxiety attack.

How
