4: Reimagining the future of: Home Blood Pressure Monitoring

This project learned about the challenges patients face when managing their BP at home. Our team conducted interviews with users and secondary research, with an aim to learn about user needs. This lead to the creation of a design intervention that empowers patients, and supports better BP monitoring and self-management at home. The overall aim was to reduce risk and anxiety around management, and help support patients and physicians to better manage BP. I contributed in conducting research and creating the website prototype.Created in collaboration with: Mariam Albess, Sandra El-Beyrouti, Joanna Rios, Habiba Soliman, and Dani Tovar
