The GDM App is a research-based platform aimed at detecting gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) early in pregnant women. It uses a combination of blood sugar level, blood pressure, food consumption, and fitness based on steps count to determine the presence of GDM. The app was developed as a collaboration between researchers and healthcare professionals to improve the health of pregnant women and their babies.
Goals
The main goal of the GDM App is to detect GDM early and to provide proper medical care to pregnant women with GDM. The app also aims to improve the health literacy of pregnant women, so they can take steps to protect themselves from serious diseases and injury even if access to medical care is limited.
Role and Process
As the system architect and lead UI/UX designer, my role in the development of the GDM App was to ensure the overall design and functionality of the platform. The process involved collaboration with researchers and healthcare professionals to gather requirements, design the user interface and user experience, and develop the platform using Medicord as the main backend and an android application.
Design Process
The design process involved conducting research on the needs of pregnant women with GDM, creating user personas and use cases, prototyping and testing the user interface, and iterating based on feedback. The final design of the app is user-friendly, accessible, and provides a seamless experience for users.
Project Background
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that occurs in pregnant women and can have negative impacts on both the mother and the baby. The GDM App was developed to address the need for early detection and treatment of GDM, and to provide a platform for improved health literacy for pregnant women.
Research
The GDM App was developed as a research project, and its effectiveness is being studied to determine if early treatment of GDM improves the health of babies. The app triages pregnant women into Intervention GDM, Intervention GCT, Control GDM and Control GCT groups, and provides automatic virtual and in-person health checkups. The app also supports health blogs written by health professionals and provides a dataset of diet with calorie information recorded daily by users. The research results will contribute to a better understanding of the impact of early treatment of GDM on the health of both mothers and babies.
