In the actual world, people with Asthma or COPD patients have a strict routine to be followed to keep themselves ready for different allergic situations. And the routine includes medication intake, exercise, etc. But how do these people track them normally?
There is something called an Action Plan for each individual, this is more like a curated set of instructions given by a pulmonologist based on the patient’s condition. Along with an action plan there are several templates that patient’s need to fill out so that their pulmonologist would know the actual journey and reports for a specific time period during each visit.
To save people from these tedious tasks, TMI plans to introduce AeroLiv, a mobile app that allows patients with Asthma & COPD to update their action plan on the app and helps them with medication reminders, medication logs and custom medication reports they can share with their pulmonologists.
Few sample templates Asthma/COPD patients normally fill out.
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are lung diseases. Both cause swelling in your airways that makes it hard to breathe. With asthma, the swelling is often triggered by something you’re allergic to, like pollen or mold, or by physical activity. COPD is the name given to a group of lung diseases that include emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Emphysema happens when the tiny sacs in your lungs (called alveoli) are damaged. Chronic bronchitis is when the tubes that carry air to your lungs (bronchial tubes) get inflamed. Smoking is the most common cause of those conditions (and COPD).
Asthma gets better. Symptoms can come and go, and you may be symptom-free for a long time. With COPD, symptoms are constant and get worse over time, even with treatment.

Coming to the user interviews, Trudell's team of project management assisted us in scheduling interviews with their real customers. The results of these interviews were really credible, and they aided us in developing the best design solutions for these specific target segments with which we were unfamiliar.
On the way, we got swamped with questions. Fortunately, we had these questions prepared for interviews, which aided us in connecting with the topic and meeting the objectives of both our target audience and the product owners.
