Case Study: WellChild supports parents of seriously ill children with Reason Digital’s product design sprint

Wellchild builds a medicine management app in 1 week with Reason Digital

WellChild, a national charity for sick children, along with its partners Medicines for Children, faced the challenge of relieving the immense pressure on parents managing complex medicine routines for their seriously ill children. They partnered with Reason Digital to find a solution that was both safe and genuinely met the users' needs. Reason Digital employed a user-centred digital product design sprint process to rapidly understand the problem and co-design a solution.

Reason Digital developed a prototype app that allows parents to safely record medicine needs, set automatic reminders, and share medical plans with healthcare professionals and other carers. This solution directly addressed the core challenges of coordination and communication identified during the sprint. As a measurable impact, the project was successful in securing funding from Comic Relief's 2018 Tech for Good fund, enabling the further development of the app to enhance its value for parents and carers.
