Summary

Lasarrus is a med-tech startup pioneering a monitoring device for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Named WearMe, the device is currently used in clinical facilities, and will soon be available to the consumer market consisting +11 million COPD patients.

Bitcoin News is a news startup. The website was developed in WordPress by a developer without any designers on deck. The co-founders quickly realized a design overhaul was necessary to grow the business into the next stage, which is where I came in to work closely with the co-founders and the developer.

Problem

A wearable medical device requiring a companion app. The tablet-only app to be used by healthcare providers in clinical settings. It must operate the sensors, collect and display critical respiratory data, and manage patients.

Solution

A modern and intuitive app tailored to support clinical workflows. Enabling healthcare providers to efficiently manage WearMe sensors, monitor respiratory data, and oversee patient care.
