Mano Kraujas app redesign 

Client: me
Type of work: UI design
Context
Being a blood donor is wholesome, however using blood bank's app “Mano Kraujas'' is not.

After using the app for some time I decided to see what could I do to make this experience better.

My tasks
I restrained from adding any additional information and functionalities to see if changes in information design would be sufficient in solving my experienced pain points.

To make it more interesting, I gave myself three days to accomplish basic research, prototyping and UI design.

Home screen and Navigation

Problem

1. Information and features were divided based on the type of content, but not its usability.

2. In home screen the main CTA was reserved for a trivial task - to update information manually.

3. Information and features were divided based on the type of content, but not its usability.
Solution

1. Grouping information and features based on use cases.

2. I replaced it with a CTA that is the core of this app - to register for a blood donation if possible or to get ready for one.

3. I added more actionable information - blood bank location and work hours.

Support

Problem

FAQs, news and app support information were mixed in together.
Solution

Separating three types of content into distinct categories.

Registration

Problem

National statistics didn't seem personal, they do not nudge to continue donating blood. FAQs, news and app support information were mixed in together.
Solution

Personal donor history provide more personalized and actionable information:
- number of donations
- number of donations until state pension
- CTA to become a blood bank volunteer

Learnings

I acknowledge that this redesign is a best-case scenario, because the end-user, client and the designer are one person - me.

However, this quick and simple redesign allowed me to test a couple of concepts and solve frustrations I have experienced.
