Alum wins International Design Awards
"Chronic(ling) Pain" aka "sentoms," and undergraduate thesis project by Shani Abass 21 GD, recently won two International Design Awards for Mobile/Web Application (Gold) and Interface Design (Bronze).
The project is ongoing and is focused on the development of editable, multimedia icons designed to help individuals with unexplained chronic pain to describe their symptoms more effectively, leading to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. This is particularly helpful for children and individuals with (non-verbal) autism or language barriers. The icons are supported by mobile and wearable apps, allowing users to edit and log their symptoms, communicate with their healthcare providers, receive custom exercise plans, track their progress, and learn more about their condition.
