Problem
More than a billion rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are administered each year to screen for some of the world’s most deadly illnesses including Malaria, TB, HIV, and Dengue. However, RDTs results are often difficult to read and require specific testing procedures, that if not followed correctly can damage the credibility of a healthcare instituiton with the communities they serve.
Approach
to better understand the problem, the team interviewed 9 RDT experts from PATH and the UW. After creating wireframes using Figma and prototypes with Flutter, The team conducted 2 rounds of usability testing with PATH lab technicians.
Solution
SCIO is a mobile app that allows its user to simply take a picture of their rapid diagnosis test (RDT) and quickly identify the RDT's test result window and detect the test's result within that window.
