Pfizer sidekick
Imagine battling an illness and feeling alone in the journey. It’s challenging, and sometimes the simplest tasks, like remembering to take a medicine, can seem like climbing a mountain. Pfizer recognized this struggle that many face daily. We envisioned an app that would be more than just a digital reminder. A true virtual health companion, always there, always supportive. We helped transform a simple idea into a friendly app that not only reminds users about their pills but also educates and supports them every step of the way.
The Challenge
Conditions like ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) demand consistent care. For those diagnosed with such conditions, their medication isn’t just a routine—it’s essential for a quality life. Yet, many find themselves skipping doses, if not stopping entirely.
The reasons vary. Some simply forget amidst the hustle of daily life, others might feel overwhelmed by side effects, and some might not understand the importance of their treatment. Pfizer aimed to bridge this gap, to ensure that every patient felt understood, supported, and equipped to manage their health.
