Mobile App Design Clients/Projects
Take the time to become familiar with your client and their project requirements, including app audience and goals. Ask questions if you think you are missing any information to allow you to plan and design the best possible solution

Project Name
Cardiology HealthInfo App: Your healthcare info always at hand
American College of Cardiology
Project author(s) Mladen I. Vidovich, MD Professor of Medicine, Interventional Cardiologist Division of Cardiology/Department of Medicine miv@uic.edu
Adhir R. Shroff, MD Professor of Medicine, Interventional Cardiologist arshroff@uic.edu Division of Cardiology/Department of Medicine
Project collaborators Aishwarya Pastapur, 4th year medical student, Division of Cardiology/Department of Medicine
App Goals
A patient-centered app that records information about their heart stent implant data. We propose a voluntary app where patient can self-enter (manually, QR code reader, scanning, OCR, etc.) their health information data (primarily implantable device information) – this way they always have information with them when needed (i.e. physician visits, emergencies). App needs to be patient-centered and voluntary – it is patient’s ultimate decision to enter data in the app

Björn Deling, Dipl. Math., , Editor at Westermann Group Publishing Company, Braunschweig for mathematical textbooks, responsible for developing content and design. He graduated at Braunschweig University, GER, and spent a year at the University of Birmingham, GB.
Project collaborators Azeez Chollampat, M.Sc., graduate of Kerala University, India (BSEE Electronics & Communication) and Golden Gate State University, CA, USA (MBA Product Management). He will help making the app known to students and universities.
App Goals
Website for Universities providing information for courses of studies to students willing to study abroad, searching for a fitting course, finding regions and discovering trainee options. This information will be shown in a free accessible app for students.
Current problem solution: Consultation with ISO (offline), commercial programs, mostly inflexible offering their own options not tailored to students needs, time consuming processes.
The need for the App – why, how, when? To students searching for a fitting place to go and study abroad, online and answering individual needs
Problem
Project Name
Green Ridge Cemetery
Project author(s) Peter Shaw Johnson , Green Ridge Cemetery, Kenosha, Wisconsin greenridgecemetery@gmail.com
Jennifer Singleton Miller GreenRidge Cemetery, Kenosha, Wiscons dlomiller05@yahoo.com
Dr. Zaid Altahat, University of Wisconsin at Parkside, Dept. Computer Sciences Director, AppFactory, altahat@uwp.edu
App Goals
Green Ridge Cemetery is a 181-year-old cemetery in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was the city’s first cemetery (and its only cemetery for many years), and as such has a long history of being a multi-ethnic, non-denominational, and non-sectarian cemetery. Those interred here include city founders, statesmen, public figures, inventors, founders of local industry, educational leaders, and military veterans of wars since the American Revolution.
Problem Statement and Definition
We are a 181-year-old cemetery that does business like a 181-year-old cemetery. That is to say that we have a lot of paper. Paper maps, paper documents, paper records—and what isn’t on paper currently resides in the head of Peter Shaw Johnson, our General Manager. After a health scare this year, Peter realized we were in danger of losing these histories. He began to brainstorm ways we could preserve the information so it would be easily accessible for future generations.
Solution
Cemeteries all over the world are turning to apps to give the general public access to their records. These all share a few common features: a map of the property, numbered monuments of interest, and photos with text and/or audio descriptions. We think that this would be a good solution for our cemetery as well. Our board envisions several phases of this project, and they hope, over time, to have an app with the aforementioned features, as well as a searchable index and living memorials.
