This project supported an 18-month study into the potential benefits of using connected apps to support the rehabilitation of patients who had suffered musculoskeletal shoulder injuries.

I designed a service which allowed patient prescriptions to be created and stored, then securely downloaded to apps on devices connected to exercise machines.  The apps would support and provide feedback to patients as they exercised; track the efficiency of their movements and store information for later review by medical professionals.

Starting Out. I created rough layouts to reflect initial high-level requirements and provide a starting point for future iteration. 

I built increasingly detailed user flows based on requirement gathering with teams of physiotherapists, patients and equipment manufacturers.

I produced more detailed wireframes based on this feedback.

I worked with visual designers to create a visual identity that patients would find supportive and friendly, combining pastel colours with soft, rounded fonts.

I constantly refined and validated the major UX patterns with in-situ testing of prototypes at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital

After delivery of the apps Doug Higgins, CEO of Mujo Fitness, said: "Ultimately, the success of the project can be seen by the extremely positive feedback received by patients now using the solution, in terms of its usability and innovative approach to displaying information, which was achieved thanks to Nick’s insistence to involve the end users at each stage of the process."
