ExerciseBuddy - An iPad Based Visual Exercise System for Autism

ExerciseBuddy is an iPad-based visual exercise system, which solves the difficult problem of introducing exercise to individuals with autism. Using best practice autism strategies, ExerciseBuddy inspires children and adults with autism to exercise without challenging parents, professionals, educators or caretakers.

Problem

Exercise Connection has developed exercise programs with different exercise components that can change lives of people with autism, down syndrome and other physical and cognitive disabilities. However, they had limited physical reach to their audience.

The client wanted to solve this problem so that more and more people can benefit from it. They had thought of digitizing their exercise programs but they needed a solution to be quite interactive and engaging so that people can use it effortlessly on handheld devices.

Solution

Digicorp developed an end-to-end solution that consists of the backend system, iPad Application, and API that connects backend and iPad Applications.

UI/UX was the biggest challenge because it was catered for families impacted by autism. Digicorp team had series of conversation with the client to understand the special needs of the community. After series of conversations, we conceived a workflow and created wireframes for the applications. Putting them in interactive design was another challenge, but the team came up with the beautiful and remarkable design with each of the design elements telling a story.
