MAR 2020 / 10 weeks / UX DESIGNER / Academic project

eroHealth is a sexual health resource that supports users with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This is achieved by connecting users to local sexual health clinics for screening and consultation; while providing a way to track diagnosis, schedule treatment and appointment reminders.

Problem  

When we talk about STIs and sexual health, we must talk about getting tested

Routine testing is one of the best ways to get ahead of potential health complications caused by Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) while limiting their transmissions. Without testing, it’s difficult to know if someone has an STI, as symptoms aren’t always obvious and noticeable which is why it’s often recommended for anyone who is sexually active to get tested at least once a year.

While most people are aware of the importance of getting tested regularly, many often feel hesitant to take action. Combined with the reality that many also lack access to a regular health physician or have difficulties talking about sexual wellness due to stigma, the motivation to seek and maintain care around STIs can quickly feel out of reach.

How might we help anxious millennials get tested more regularly to better manage their health around STIs without complicating an already overwhelming process?
