We redesigned the SketchyMedical iOS app and completed remaining flows for remote development. This project is been halted due to lack of resources.
The majority of learning no longer happens in the classroom, but on bus rides, walks, and places outside of lecture halls. To align ourselves with this shift, SketchyMedical is creating a mobile application for users to review content, take quizzes, and review flash cards on the go.
Before we get into the case study, there are a few things to know about SketchyMedical:
Videos - time-lapse videos where a completed, illustrated scene is slowly revealed, one character and layer at a time
Sketch - the end of each video shows a finished sketch that illustrates the entire scene from the video
Narration - the narrator outlines the story and tells us what's going on in the scene, tying in medicine concepts from microbiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology.
Symbols - objects and characters symbolize crucial chemicals, drugs, organs, etc. to aid visual memory
💬 How might we translate SketchyMedical's desktop experience into an iOS application that can be used in a variety of contexts?
