What sparked the creation of a well-being platform?

The initiative was made to develop a well-being platform – a realization that pregnant women have considerable challenges when it comes to controlling their prenatal care and identifying a user-friendly solution.

The client mentioned no doubt the existing apps were lacking in personalization, found it hard to provide recommendations of activities that would be safe and meaningful, aiding engagement and motivation of pregnant women throughout their journey of pregnancy as well, and further identified the absence of seamless points and redemption system.

These challenges led the client to build a 360-degree well-being platform that would cater to these pain points, along with customized experiences for each mom basis her month/week of pregnancy.

Our approach to fostering the solution

Our method of developing the solution was comprehensive and really a user-oriented one. In order to cater to the personalized challenges, a complex algorithm was embedded that will analyze the exact month/week of pregnancy the individual user was at after which their pregnancy stage would be recommended with personalized recommendations of activities tailored for them as an individual and the respective research would be communicated with them.

In an effort to make the proposed activities safe and beneficial, we teamed up with medical practitioners and consultants specializing in prenatal care. Their input led us to a varied number of activities that would give maximum health benefits giving regard to the specific needs obtained at the particular stage of pregnancy.

Engagement and motivation were key considerations to make as part of our solution. We devised a points system whereby a platform user would earn points depending on how much they used the platform and participated in the different activities therein. This way, the experience became engaging, for most of the activities performed on the platform there was a sense of accomplishment. Besides the above, we designed an interface that is intuitive and user-friendly such that they would navigate easily in order to keep their interest throughout the journey of pregnancy.

Using the user feedback at every step during a collaborative, and iterative development process, we kept refining the platform to best suit the very diverse and changing needs of pregnant women. Thus surely, there was a great amount of flexibility, scalability as well and compatibility with quite a few operating systems and devices in the attempt to provide each and every user with quite a seamless experience using it.

It has also integrated an e-commerce feature that would allow the administrator to sell products concerning pregnancy based on earned points. Knowing that ease and access to helpful and relevant products are paramount, we have created a secure and user-friendly online store within the app especially for women to redeem the points earned.

Overall, therefore, our approach was about writing a user-centric platform that will discern personalized recommendations, vet and maintain safety and relevance, provide an engaging user experience, and avail a streamlined points and redemption process. The aim, therefore, was to empower pregnant women to be able to take charge of their health needs as well as ensure they enhance the overall experience throughout the period of maternity.
