5. PlusS
Retirement Living Social Networking Service
PlusS60, an app for the new breed of retirement villages to keep residents connected, engaged and enjoying life!
In 2018, I was intially involved in the PlusS60 project as a technology vendor to integrate the SoftBank Pepper Robot with the platform, but I also consulted on this startup team in a freelance capacity after hours and on weekends.
I worked with product designer Natalie Harper, and UX/UI designer Gavin Campbell-Wilson and stakeholders such as Wesley Mission Queensland, Southern Cross Care and Baptcare to ensure our product decisions were informed by the voice of the end user.
Designing functional & clear UX & UI for the +60 age bracket required real accessibility testing, and the efforts of this project achieved recognition in the form of a Good Design Award in 2019.
