Contest Description
Aceso is a healthcare company that owns and manages hospitals throughout the United States. We are looking to update our customers mobile "hospital" experience. We are looking for the Design Studio Community to help us with planning our initial "user experience". The overall goal is to eventually select a design that can be reused and rebranded by all of our hospitals.
Note: Aceso is a codename for this project.
Design Concept Goals:
- How should this mobile application look?
- Since the application will be branded by each individual hospital - some things like logos and colors would need to be easy to change
- Suggest user screen flows and navigation
- What features can help a user with their hospital experience?
- What tools would a user needs in this application?
- How quickly could you find information?
- What is the best UX for a customer trying to find the hospital?
- Think simple but effective solutions! Have fun creating this - let us know how you think it should work!
- Use current "flat design" techniques and iOS7 influence
- We want this to be MODERN application design!!
Use the 320 x 480px (Standard sizes) for submission format. Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when resize for retina versions, graphic still look sharp! It will be great if you can provide the landscape version.
Mobile Application Features:
Research our existing hospital mobile applications (make sure to view both mobile and desktop "views")
Important: See attachment with reference links and additional information
