Sprout is a mobile app designed for new mothers\u00a0to track babies’ daily routine activities and document their growth and\u00a0development. We went through a complete design process to create the final mockup, including\u00a0user research, data synthesizing, user journey mapping, ideation, sketches,\u00a0and iterative prototyping.<\/p>\n

\"Sprout\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sprout is a mobile app designed for new mothers\u00a0to keep track of their babies’ daily routine activities and document their physical growth and\u00a0cognitive development. New mothers\u2019 life schedules are usually changed after they give birth to their babies. This app serves as a timer and reminder for new mothers who need to feed the baby, change the diapers, and note the baby\u2019s sleeping schedules around every three hours. On the other hand, parents love to document their babies\u2019 growth in many ways, for example, taking photos and videos or writing diaries. With Sprout, parents can create an entry and import media to note down anything important or interesting that happened to the baby or the family. These entries would become great memories for the family to review in the future. The three designers on the Sprout team worked from February to May and finished a complete design process on developing two features for this app. They started off conducting user research, synthesizing research data, having ideations and brainstorming sessions, creating sketches, wireframes, and prototypes, and went through three rounds of user testing to finalize the prototype. By continuing to develop the other features of Sprout, they hope that new mothers\u2019 life would become easier, and taking care of newborn babies could become a pleasant and memorable experience for the mothers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
