Enliven (corporate wellness web application and accompanying mobile app)
A flexible, customizable solution encompassing health tracking, chat with health coaches, interactive activities like health challenges, personalized content delivery, appointment scheduling for biometric screenings, HIPAA and 508 Compliance, accessibility, third-party app integration (e.g., Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, Runkeeper), CMS, and the ability to be re-skinned to align with their branding.
Design Process
• User-Centered Research: Extensive research and needs assessment were conducted to understand user requirements.
• Wireframing and Prototyping: Design ideas were visualized through wireframes and prototypes.
• User Testing: UserZoom was employed for testing, providing insights for design refinements.
• Accessibility Integration: Meeting branding colors while adhering to accessibility requirements involved creating an accessible version of the client's palette when necessary.
Development
• The application was built on .NET, ensuring a robust and secure foundation.
• The mobile app was developed for both Android and iOS platforms.
Testing and Quality Assurance
• Design QA to ensure the the builds aligned with the intended designs.
• Functional testing to identify bugs.
• Accessibility testing to confirm everything was within compliance.
• Adaptations to meet specific client branding while preserving accessibility.
• Content reviews by the health experts to make sure everything was accurate.
Launch
It was launched in phases. The first was the early version of the web application. We later released the more robust version that included additional functionality such as the third-party app integration. The iOS app came afterwards and then finally the Android app.
Challenges Faced
• HR representatives' insistence on alignment with internal processes rather than health and wellness expert recommendations.
• Balancing client-specific branding colors with accessibility requirements, necessitating the creation of accessible color palettes.
Conclusion
Enliven effectively resolved our clients' multifaceted challenges by delivering a fully customizable, branded, and accessible health and wellness application. It empowered employees to make informed, healthier choices, leading to improved well-being and heightened productivity within their organizations.

UI System Guide
A UI System Guide is a comprehensive, meticulously crafted internal resource used as a reference point during the design and development phases of digital projects. It encompasses a set of guidelines, principles, and components that maintain consistency, enhance user experience, and facilitate a seamless design and development process.
What a UI System Guide Does
• Maintains Consistency: It establishes a unified visual identity and user experience across all digital assets.
• Speeds Up Development: By providing pre-defined UI components and styles, it accelerates the development phase.
• Enhances Collaboration: Teams can collaborate more effectively, ensuring everyone works with a shared understanding of design principles.
• Optimizes User Experience: It prioritizes user-centric design, leading to more intuitive and enjoyable digital products.
Why UI System Guides Are Important
• Consistency: They ensure visual and functional consistency, which fosters brand recognition and trust.
• Efficiency: They reduce redundancy by offering pre-built components, saving time and effort.
• Scalability: They facilitate scalability by providing a foundation for future design and development.
• Enhanced Collaboration: They improve team collaboration by offering a common reference point.
Considerations in a UI System Guide
• Design Principles: Establishing core design principles that align with the brand's identity.
• UI Components: Providing a library of UI elements such as buttons, forms, typography, and color palettes.
• Accessibility: Ensuring accessibility guidelines are adhered to, making the digital assets usable for all.
• Responsive Design: Guidelines for responsiveness across various screen sizes and devices.
• Documentation: Comprehensive documentation detailing usage, code examples, and design rationale.
Time and Effort Savings
• A well-structured UI System Guide yields substantial time and effort savings:
• Streamlined Development: Developers can work faster with pre-defined UI components.
• Reduced Iterations: Designers benefit from clear guidelines, minimizing design revisions.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Teams work more efficiently, resulting in faster project delivery.
• Consistent User Experience: Users benefit from consistent, user-centric design choices.
The UI System Guide has become an invaluable asset in our design and development workflow. Its role in maintaining consistency, expediting development, and enhancing collaboration cannot be overstated. By adhering to its guidelines, we have achieved more streamlined and efficient digital projects that consistently deliver exceptional user experiences.
