Introduction:
We live in a world where personal safety is a growing concern. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive solution, I embarked on a UX case study to design an app that addresses the pressing issue of personal safety. I am thrilled to share the highlights of this case study, centered around the development of the SAYF app – a personal safety application that empowers users to reach out for help during critical situations. Let's dive into the journey and key findings of this exciting project.
Problem Statement:
Crime rates are rising, and the need to stay connected with loved ones and seek help has never been more critical. In response, I set out to design an app that provides a simple yet effective way for users to notify their emergency contacts when in danger, along with sharing their GPS location. The goal was to create a solution that users could access swiftly, even in high-pressure situations.
Research Insights:
Through extensive market research and user interviews, I gained invaluable insights into the challenges faced by individuals when it comes to personal safety. Understanding their needs, motivations, and pain points enabled me to create user personas that guided the design process.
Solution and Iteration:
The SAYF app, born from this case study, offers a user-friendly interface that prioritizes quick access to emergency contacts and real-time GPS tracking. By utilizing paper wireframes and following an iterative design process, I refined and enhanced the app's user experience, addressing usability issues and incorporating valuable feedback from user testing.
Commitment to Accessibility:
A key aspect of the SAYF app's design was accessibility. Embracing inclusive design principles, I ensured that the app caters to users with diverse abilities. From clear and consistent interfaces to compatibility with assistive technologies, every detail was considered to make the app accessible and usable for all.
