My Lil’ Health Bot provides university students with on-demand care products via their high-tech vending machines. This mobile application’s goal is to make it easier for students to access and order the products for pickup or delivery. Through cute visuals, an easy-to-use interface, and gamification elements, the application hopes to attract not only student customers, but also student couriers who wish to earn an extra buck delivering products from the vending machines to student dormitories.
My design research involved installing and studying existing similar applications like Uber, SkiptheDishes, DoorDash, Starbucks, and Instacart among many others. From there, I created a folder filled with screenshots in which I intended to draw inspiration from for my design. Because My Lil’ Health Bot wanted gamification elements, I also looked into successful video games like Overwatch and League of Legends and studied what made them so successful. A common trend I found among multiplayer games was the ranking system that rewarded players based on how well they play in their matches.
