Problem:
More than 50% of the population will be chronically ill by 2030, with the first symptoms emerging from 16 to 19, giving rise to the need for unclinical methods of managing your illness at home.

---

Solution:
By analysing people’s home environments and conducting interviews, I discovered that the support system of patients dwindles with time due to a need for more awareness and learning to provide proper care. Through conducting co-design sessions, I developed collaborative solutions involving methods where carers could easily communicate and come together collectively.

My product, Loopd creates a healthy culture around alternative care methods and helps people vocalise how they feel best supported. The system is also supported by a third public space where individuals or their carers can receive information and get inspired by the community. The services accompanying this experience include packaging the prescriptions to be less clinical and customisable care stickers, which build up to become a visual health artefact with time. By changing these rituals around providing care, we move towards preferable futures with healthier language around caring for lifelong illnesses.
