Helping Patients Manage Chronic Kidney Disease

Client: Dr Reddys

Domain: Healthcare, Pharmaceutical

Duration: 4 Months

Tools: Ethnographic Research, User Experience Design, Business Design, Service Design, Interaction Design, Rapid Prototyping.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a condition where a patient gradually (over several years) loses her kidney function. In the earlier stages of the disease, treatment focuses on slowing the progression of the disease before it gets to a stage where regular dialysis or a kidney transplant becomes necessary. We were brought in to help understand patient behavior and design a technology solution to help patients manage the disease and to make it easier for them to adhere to their prescribed regimen.

IN A NUTSHELL The Problem

The Approach

The Result

We were asked to design and help develop a mobile application to help patients and their caregivers better manage CKD.

We started by conducting deep ethnographic research and then followed an iterative process of rapid prototype development and user testing to quickly develop and refine the overall design.

The app has been tested across geographies with a select number of doctors and will be released to a broader audience over the next few months. The initial feedback has been extremely positive both from doctors as well as patients.
