Whistle app

Product Design

Whistle is a mobile app for Android. Communication solutions specifically designed for Aged Care. Connecting care staff enables positive Resident outcomes. Whistle helps improve efficiency and the lives of their residents.

Whistle connects care staff which helps improve efficiency and has a duress function for staff safety. Whistle also manages nurse calls, enhancing staff responsiveness to help improve the Resident experience. In addition, Whistle provides detailed reporting of all activity around communication, nurse call and duress events.

This app has an intuitive icon-based system that is easy to use, requiring minimal training. Ongoing system training is a burden on management and staff. With an intuitive interface, Whistle vastly reduces training overhead. Whistle is built to run on a smart device for Aged Care, allowing for dual-purposing of the staff's devices. Whistle addresses many diverse challenges experienced in Aged Care as it runs on smart devices that people are already familiar with.

Ongoing improvements and iterations

This case study includes all the design processes for version 1.0 of the app (currently in use) and some of the ongoing design processes for version 2.0. All the design work was migrated from Sketch to Figma in 2021.

My high level goals were:

  • Create a consistent user interface, easy to use for everyone following Material Design standards.

  • Take the client's brief as a starting point and make a user journey to iterate along the process to be refined.

  • Make a consistent look and feel across all the app' screens having the brand / logo of the project included seemly.

  • Include user testing / user feedback in all the iterations of the project.
