From Therapy to Gamification

Rather than just a list of tasks, I designed a progressive, Duolingo-inspired roadmap that serves as the core framework for the therapy. By structuring lessons as levels within a visual journey, I created a gamified environment where external activities are integrated into a cohesive story. This path-based navigation provides clear short-term goals, maintaining the child's motivation through a sense of constant progress.

En lugar de solo una lista de tareas, diseñé una hoja de ruta progresiva inspirada en Duolingo que sirve como marco central de la terapia. Al estructurar las lecciones como niveles dentro de un viaje visual, creé un entorno gamificado donde las actividades externas se integran en una historia cohesiva. Esta navegación basada en rutas proporciona metas claras a corto plazo, manteniendo la motivación del niño a través de una sensación de progreso constante

Understanding that parents are not therapists, I designed a passive monitoring system. The app automates task delivery and notifies progress, eliminating logistical friction and reducing the cognitive load on the family during the rehabilitation process.

Entendiendo que los padres no son terapeutas, diseñé un sistema de monitoreo pasivo. La aplicación automatiza la entrega de tareas y notifica el progreso, eliminando la fricción logística y reduciendo la carga cognitiva de la familia durante el proceso de rehabilitación.

For speech therapists, efficiency is the priority. I designed an all-in-one control panel that allows them to assign activities in under three clicks. To streamline their daily workflow, I integrated a centralized agenda for schedule management and a direct chat for seamless communication with patients.

Para los fonoaudiólogos, la prioridad es la eficiencia. Diseñé un panel de control todo en uno que les permite asignar actividades en menos de tres clics. Para agilizar su flujo de trabajo diario, integré una agenda centralizada para la gestión de horarios y un chat directo para una comunicación fluida con los pacientes.
