The challenge: a support community for gestational diabetes, built from scratch

Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times of our lives, but gestational diabetes can sometimes make it overwhelming. The HIgedi founder came to Perpetio to create the best support community for those dealing with gestational diabetes or willing to learn more about it.

  • Come up with the feature set
  • Choose the UI design elements and branding
  • Create the user flow
  • Develop a cross-platform app
  • Help users find a community around them with GPS location, a map and chat

The solution: a safe space for sharing experiences and getting support

  • Mood board and visuals

    The design team collected inspiration elements into a mood board to help the client decide on the preferred app visuals.

  • Soothing purple palette

    A color palette dominated by soothing shades of purple, symbolizing compassion and comfort.

  • Logo and typography

    A distinctive logo and typography promote a feeling of safe space for sharing experiences and getting support.

  • Structure and wireframes

    Information structure, user flow, and wireframes outline the app’s structure for an intuitive and pleasant experience.

  • Personalized onboarding

    Users share their experiences and interests, so the app can curate content tailored to their individual needs.
