Ugovi: design de experiência e interface no auxílio à jornada do paciente oncológico

Abstract

Socialization is an intrinsic aspect of human health, acting as a preventive factor against psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression. In the oncological context, this need becomes even more critical, as the physical and emotional fragility resulting from treatment intensifies social isolation, potentially compromising therapeutic adherence and patient well-being. Given this scenario, this study proposes the development of a mobile application designed as a social network to support oncology patients, aiming to connect them with individuals in similar situations and volunteers. The research investigates how User Experience (UX) guidelines can enhance the support and mediation of these connections. The system features functionalities such as the sharing of experiences, availability for visits, and active moderation, seeking to offer an interface that humanizes the treatment process and minimizes the impact of cancer on these individuals’ lives.
