What is Vaxx Check?
In the modern world, keeping track of vaccinations for both children and adults can be a complex task. With numerous vaccines administered at different ages and intervals, a digital solution can simplify this process. This case study details the UX design process for developing a user-friendly mobile app, „Vaxx Check,“ aimed at helping parents manage their family’s vaccination schedules efficiently.
The Problem
In today’s busy world, it can be difficult to stay on top of multiple vaccination schedules, appointments, and requirements for various ages. Finding a trustworthy source of accurate and current information on vaccines is crucial.
The main challenge for individuals is keeping track of mandatory and recommended vaccine schedules, staying informed about the latest vaccines, and remembering when revaccinations and appointments are due.
User Research
In my research for the VaxxCheck app, i utilized interviews and empathy mapping to gain insights into our target users and their needs
Primary User Group
1. Working parents who have limited time for scheduling their children and vaccinations.
2. Parents, who have a hard time tracking and informing themselves about mandatory and suggested vaccinations for their kids.
3. People and families who travel worldwide require secure information about mandatory vaccinations and health updates.
User Pain Points
Finding a reliable source of accurate and up-to-date information on vaccines.
Keeping track of multiple vaccination schedules and requirements for different ages.
Navigating vaccination requirements for international travel.
„I prioritize my children’s health and want to make informed decisions about their vaccination needs.“
Meet Emily Johnson
Emily is a working mom of two, jugling between work and kids. She needs a tool to keep track of hers and her childrens mandatory and recomended vaccines, boosters and follow up checks. Her goal is to manage it seemles. She loves travelling to exotic countries, but often she has to be prepared with additional vaccine shots. She needs a fast and reliable source of information about the vaccines on the market.
Looking for a user friendly platform, for keeping track of the kids vaccinations, get notifications for upcoming vaccinations and recommended ones, as well as having information on those vaccines. Having easy and fast info on vaccines in other countries, while traveling will be a perk.
Goals
- I want to make informed decisions regarding my children’s vaccination needs.
- I need reminders for follow-up doses or booster shots.
- I need the ability to share vaccination records with schools, doctors, and other caregivers.
- I want a centralized platform to keep track of my children’s vaccinations.
- I need information on vaccines required for travel to other countries.
Frustrations
- Input my children’s vaccination records into the platform.
- Set up reminders for upcoming vaccinations and schedule appointments.
- Access information about different vaccines, including their benefits and potential side effects.
- Search for vaccination requirements and recommendations when traveling abroad.
- Keep track of any vaccine-related documents or certificates needed for school or daycare.
Ideate
Imagine a world where managing family life on the go is as easy as a tap on your phone. That’s the vision I started with. My target audience – busy parents juggling work and family, individuals hopping from one city to another, and families trying to stay connected amidst chaos – needed a solution that was both powerful and effortless to use.

From the get-go, I knew the design had to evoke a sense of calm and efficiency. Here’s how that vision was brought to life:
Rounded Buttons: I opted for soft, rounded buttons throughout the interface. Why? Because sharp edges are the last thing a stressed parent needs to see! The rounded shapes create a more soothing visual experience.
Bright CTAs: While the overall design aims for calmness, I didn’t shy away from using bright, bold colors for the call-to-action buttons. These vibrant touchpoints serve as friendly guides, helping users confidently navigate the app.
Typography Harmony: I struck a beautiful balance by combining two typefaces: This typographic duo reflects the app’s dual nature – efficient yet friendly, just like a perfect personal assistant.
Inter: for its clean, modern look that ensures readability
Poppins: to add a touch of warmth and personality
User Flow
When considering our users’ needs, I realized that a vibrant and creative direction would resonate more effectively. Our users lead busy, on-the-go lifestyles, so The Vaxx Check app’s mood should align with their fast-paced routines. The app’s design should be simple and calming, free from unnecessary distractions. By focusing on these key elements – simplicity, tranquility, and clarity – I created an interface that not only appeals to our users visually but also complements their daily lives. This approach ensures that The Vaxx Check app becomes a seamless, stress-free tool in their health management arsenal.
