PROJECT CHALLENGE
The Live Well team was tasked to design a tool which supports AYAs’ (adolescents and young adults) developmental need for autonomy while simultaneously facilitating decision-focused conversations with others. The tool should empower AYA patients to participate in decision making, particularly decisions made outside of the clinic.
PROJECT APPROACH
The team relied heavily on patient and clinician focus groups to gain insights. The team started with secondary research and benchmarking on ulcerative colitis and decision-making tools before conducting patient focus groups around treatment and day-to-day decision making. Next, the team developed mood boards, information architecture, and preliminary wireframes which were refined throughout the remainder of the semester.
