The One.

Is a dreaming slowly coming true.
An all-in move for a Type1 Diabetes Management App I wish I had in my life.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

What is it?

An unique project for a type one diabetes management app that includes live data report not just from glucose tracking but also nutrition, exercise and mood trackers / psychological status.

Time Frames

Currently in yhe stage of competitors research, The One. project started in january 2025 and it's aiming to present its first prototype by december 2026, able to be test the first features.

Why this?

Diabetes Type 1 now-a-days is still really missunderstood and lacks a lot of considerations when we talk about management. Tired of always trying to find the best solution, this project emerged.

My story:

This dream started long ago, way before UX/UI was even considered in the market as it is today or even before I knew I wanted to become a Designer.

My journey began in a 2017 Usability class, long before I knew I wanted to be a Designer. Living with Type 1 Diabetes for 15 years, I was struck by an assignment: "Create a useful mobile app." The idea hit me—why not design an app to simplify diabetes management? I never voiced it, but it stayed with me.

As I changed cities, doctors, and diabetes apps, frustration grew: Why is managing this so complex? Why are apps so clunky? Why can’t doctors streamline treatments? Now, life has given me the chance to turn that long-held idea into an impactful project—one that could truly improve life for Type 1 Diabetes patients to live in a better world.

SKETCHING IDEAS

ALL IN THE ONE.

From my experience - we are becoming busy people - and having a desease that demands our 24/7 attention that wants us to look at all of these aspects, gets hard to deal with sometimes.

These are just ideas that become inputs for potential features that might come up.

NEXT STEPS

Understand Market Solutions and Competitors

Dive into similar apps and create a detailed list of their features, UX/UI processes, and user flow, while also identifying potential features to enhance The One.

Direct Research with potentional users

Select and contact a wide range of Health Units - patients / parents and professionals - related to Type one Diabetes and start collecting ther opinion to create a strong database.

Struture Future Steps and how to act

With the data seletected, understand main needs, visual identity, tools to develop and establish a real plan to execute every part of the project and make it become reality.
