OVERVIEW - THE HEALTHCARE CONTEXT
Spina Bifida is a type of 'neural tube defect (NTD)' - a birth defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly during early fetal development.
The most severe form results in lifelong disabilities.
A major side-effect is incontinence - the inability to control bladder/bowel movements. This is a 'HUGE' problem for this patient group.
LETS EMPATHIZE - THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM
Imagine having to worry everyday about uncontrollable bowel movement, navigating life as an adult with goals, ambitions & responsibilities.
It causes issues with self-esteem
Traveling is a problem. You sometimes have to do self-catheterization or use an enema to relieve yourself.
Causes a lot of distress in their personal/social lives and relationships.
Hampers professional engagements in the work place.
Have to remember to carry adult diapers/incontinence products for potential accidents.
Planning outfits is a pain. As an individual, your dressing sense becomes more functional than fashionable.
Be prepared to handle accidents anywhere.
Even tracking water intake becomes a reality to avoid accidents.
We engaged with this patient group to design a mobile first habit tracking/goal management app that helps manage their incontinence challenges.
WHY? You might think.
All of these challenges mentioned earlier, require them to lead 'meticulously planned' lives to manage their condition. They need a habit tracking/goal management app tailored to their needs.
