HeadEase

App Design

HeadEase is a mobile application concept designed to empower users in tracking and managing their headache episodes, with an intuitive interface that provides a smooth and stress-free experience.

HeadEase provides an immersive, user-friendly experience, allowing users to log episodes with just a few taps, visualize trends over time, and access interactive reports.
Through features like a detailed headache diary and personalized analytics, HeadEase aims to be a companion in managing chronic pain, making health tracking both simple and insightful.

My role was to develop the entire project by conducting a competitive analysis, creating personas, and conducting interviews to better understand user needs.
Faced with significant pressure to deliver the project quickly, I had to streamline certain steps, limiting interviews to a few subjects I was able to reach quickly. Despite these constraints, their insights allowed me to refine the user experience efficiently.

I designed the app’s interface and developed a visual style that conveys a sense of calm and good vibes, supporting users through an empathetic and user-centered experience.

The problem

Many individuals suffer from frequent headaches, often struggling to understand the triggers, patterns, and effective management strategies for their condition. This lack of insight can lead to increased discomfort, reduced productivity, and a diminished quality of life.

The goal

Providing a user-friendly mobile app for individuals to monitor and analyze their headache episodes, improving their overall well-being.

My role

UX | UI designer and UX researcher

The UI uses soothing colors to create a calming experience for users dealing with frequent headaches.

The app is targeted towards a female audience. I used purple because it is associated with femininity and serves as an excellent contrasting element within a dark design. The vibrant blue complements the purple and conveys a sense of calmness. I have chosen a dark layout to prevent users from straining their eyes and exacerbating their headaches. However, I have also provided the option to switch to a lighter layout if desired.

Why the use of a dark layout is so important here:

  • Reduction of visual fatigue
  • Increased visual comfort
  • Energy-saving on OLED screens
  • Modern Look & Feel

These are the competitor apps I reviewed.

Since I hadn’t used similar apps before, I felt it was essential to explore the competition’s work to understand the best practices in this space. By familiarizing myself with their designs and functionalities, I could create an experience that truly adds value for the user.
