User Scenarios

Howard

Howard loves to have a good time and enjoys being the life of the party. He has recently turned 50, and with his new age, comes new health problems. He has to take a multitude of medications for his arthritis and joint pains. Howard has a fast paced busy life that begins early in the morning and goes until late into the evening. Taking medication at certain times of the day can get tricky and he sometimes forgets. He needs a way to remember all of this new information and to alert him when he needs to take it so that he doesn’t forget with his busy schedule. He found this app on his iphone that lets him enter all the information and guidelines of his medications, and set alerts throughout the day to remind him to take his medication so that he wont have pain. He loves that he can order new medication right from his phone so he doesn’t have to wait in line at the pharmacy, since he does not have much time.

Jessica

Jessica has diabetes and wears a medical bracelet since it is so severe, and sometimes her blood sugar levels get too low. She needs a way to remind herself when to take her medications, and also a log of all her medications with specific notes and images so that if anything were to happen, like passing out from low blood sugar, the information would be stored in her app on her iphone. This could be extremely useful to someone trying to help Jessica in a crisis situation. Her app would list exactly the name, dosage, doctor and pharmacist who prescribed and filled the prescription, and any other necessary information such as if she needs to take water or food with her medication.
