This involved simplifying complex terms, using more direct and patient-friendly language, and ensuring that all instructions and information were easy to understand. These improvements aimed to make the app more accessible to a broader audience, enhancing user comprehension and interaction.
Providing detailed instructions
Integrating detailed, step-by-step instructions, and onboarding flows helped to assist users through each feature and function, ensuring a smooth and intuitive user experience. By eliminating guesswork and confusion, we fostered a more supportive and user-centric environment.
Enhancing accessibility
We implemented several key features, including voice-assisted functionality, high-contrast color schemes, and text resizing options. These enhancements are aimed at supporting users with various disabilities, ensuring that the app is usable and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their physical capabilities. By prioritizing accessibility, we committed to creating an inclusive digital space that accommodates all users.
