Overview

Glucosee is a company dedicated to providing solutions that improve the life quality of people with diabetes. Their gadget, Topsulin, is an electronic device that allows insulin-dependent diabetics to keep a daily record of glucose, carbohydrate and injected insulin values.

This innovative product comes along with a mobile app capable of recording sport, food and glycemic control activity in an attractive and simple-to-use interface. It also tracks the user’s blood glucose in the last hours and shows an editable and exportable recorded history. The app integrates with Topsulin via Bluetooth for settings and data collection.

‍

Challenge

Our client came to us looking for a partner that could help them create an intuitive and easy to use app, suitable for users of different ages.

One of their requirements was to make sure the integration with Topsulin was excellent, based on the Bluetooth standard, as well as through the use of personalized services.

‍

Solution

We got started with a Discovery Stage in order to set the design and user experience guidelines. Afterwards we started the development cycle, focusing on the mobile app’s integration with Topsulin and other industry glucometers based on standard Bluetooth services.

"Since the very beginning of our engagement, we were able to foresee the product quality. We’re very satisfied with the work relationship generated between the teams."

Values that we deliver

We love our work. As simple as that. This passion is behind every project we work on, it is the fuel that motivates us to reach for more.

Teamwork

Together we learn, improve, rediscover, question, and create. We are proud to say that, indeed, teamwork makes the dreamwork.

The UX the user needs

For the interface design, we got started by studying the users, in particular their problems when entering data in different apps and systems. Based on our research, we realized that their main issue was the long time it took them to register, which led us to focus on building a quick and intuitive entry system instead. At first, we worked on lo-fi prototypes in order to start validating the product idea; then, we moved to high-fidelity prototypes until we delivered a full interactive InVision prototype for user testing.
