— Context

In western societies, 1 out of 10 women is suffering from endometriosis*. This condition takes many forms and, as of today, cannot be cured. In practice, this translates into years of waiting for a diagnosis, women not taken seriously, feeling misunderstood, and left without any solutions. At the same time, the pain continues month after month. I am one of those women, which is why this project feels close to my heart.

*Endometriosis is a female chronic disease, where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the digestive tubes. It's a long-term condition that can have a significant impact on women’s daily life.

— Problem

Unfortunately, I am not a scientist that can come up with a cure, but I can build a tool that helps women feeling more in control.

CHALLENGE

How might we help women with

endometriosis to manage their condition, so that they live a better life and feel supported?

— Solution

After deep learning from women at different stages and types of endometriosis, I designed an app that aims at helping these women in their day-to-day. The outcome is a prototype consisting of three main flows that serve our two personas, the endogirls.

Elena was recently diagnosed with a light to medium endometriosis. She needs an easy way to track, learn and follow-up on her symptoms.

Joris has severe endometriosis and undergone surgeries. She has many doctor's appointments and needs an accessible way to store all her documents and medical history.
