Dish democratizes access to symptom relief for the 1.2 Billion IBS patients in the world by digitising the low-FODMAP diet.
The new digital health platform features low-FODMAP recipes, grocery delivery and a notification-based digital dietitian that guides patients through the elimination and reintroduction phases. We iterated on the prototype over 4 months to develop a seamless dietary workflow in which IBS'ers feel secure.

Our challenge was to design an app that minimizes the risk of user error, so it would qualify for clinical approval and alleviate the diet-related anxiety that often haunts IBS patients.
This meant our app had to hold the user's hand through the entire journey: from eliminating at-risk ingredients (FODMAPS) to testing ingredient groups and eventually adopting their new, personalized baseline diet.

To suggest simplicity I used a high-contrast color palette consisting of a cool base color for calmness, a red lead color for action and a green checkmark for progress. The simple shapes, which compile into an abstracted apple to symbolise health, are loosely inspired by Lego to suggest child-like simplicity.

I designed a calendar-like feature in which users book their next FODMAP reintroduction challenge. Besides allowing them to choose their preferred food, quantity and start date, this also created buy-in by asking for explicit commitment.

Based on user feedback, to reduce the fear of getting FODMAP reintroduction wrong and triggering a flare-up, I introduced a notification-based dietitian that guides users every step of the way.
