MemoPill

MemoPill is a medication reminder app I designed for anyone who wants a simple, stress-free way to keep track of their meds. The goal was to help users of all ages manage medication schedules without confusing menus or clutter.

Problem

Most medication reminder apps are just too complicated. People of all ages, from tech-savvy adults to elderly users, get lost in menus and unnecessary features. This leads to missed doses and lots of frustration. MemoPill is my answer to that. I wanted an app that's minimal, easy, and actually helpful.

Solution

I wanted MemoPill to be all about simplicity. It's a mobile app that helps anyone, no matter their age or tech background, set up and receive clear, timely medication reminders. The design is focused on clean visuals, intuitive steps, and just the features users need. Nothing more, nothing less.

Discover

I talked with 40 people aged 25 to 75. Most had the same complaint: current apps are too hard to use. Some people gave up on reminders altogether, which isn’t great for their health.

"I'm in my 30s and managing a chronic condition. I need something simple and quick."
"My elderly mother has trouble using her current app. It's just too confusing for her."

In surveys, almost everyone said they wanted a clean, minimal design. Most also said complicated navigation was the worst part of current apps. I did a competitive analysis and saw the same thing. Other apps had way too many features, making them overwhelming.

Define & Ideate

MemoPill was designed to keep things as simple as possible. Features include quick medication input, customizable reminders, and clear, readable screens. Based on feedback, I made sure to add an option for notes and a secure password lock for privacy. The goal was always to keep the experience straightforward but flexible.

Positive feedback for the clean and easy design encouraged me to stick with minimalism
Added an instructions field for each medication based on user requests
Implemented a secure login for privacy, which was especially important to older users

High-Fidelity Prototype

After a round of user testing, I moved on to a high-fidelity design. The new prototype featured bigger fonts, clear contrast for better readability, and simple, recognizable icons. Color choices were made with accessibility in mind, and I made sure all interactive elements gave instant feedback to users. The result is an app that just feels easy to use, whether you’re young or old.

Outcomes & Lessons

MemoPill got great feedback in user testing. People liked how simple it was to set up and get reminders. The minimal, inclusive design means it works well for everyone. I learned how important accessibility is, especially for older users, and that constant feedback from users makes a better product. Next steps are to keep making it even more accessible and consider adding support for different languages in the future.
