Designed from a multidisciplinary team
A successful app does not come about from design alone. Collaboration between content specialists, designers and developers is very important. In this project we worked together with surgeons, psychologists, dieticians, nurses, communication specialists and of course the experts/users. We align the process so that the right specialist is involved at the right time in order to efficiently and thoroughly achieve a qualitative end result.
A solid foundation for continued development
The launch of the app, June 2024, does not mean the end of development. By continuing to closely monitor real-world usage, we will learn what suits the needs of different users. In this way, new functionalities do not emerge from behind a laptop, but from insights in the real world, and we work toward an app that keeps getting better. The goal is to offer a total solution for pre- and post-use over a period of 5 years.
