Title A name given to the resource Kinroot Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Rudolph, Chloee Abstract A summary of the resource. Kinroot, an app to assist families, emerged from personal experience. After a family member’s diagnosis I witnessed how quickly medical information became overwhelming and confusing for not only him, but everyone around him too. Appointments referenced unfamiliar terminology, quick explanations, and critical details that were difficult to process in the moment and even more difficult to recall later. Updates were shared through phone calls, texts, brief conversations, often fragmented and repeated to the point people couldn’t remember who knew what information. I began to realize the challenge was now not only medical, but communicative. This app investigates how design can function as a stabilizing structure within times of uncertainty. Kinroot reimagines medical information as something that can easily be clarified, organized, and shared collectively. By centralizing all updates in the home feed, simplifying medical terms in the terms section, and providing shared tracking tools in the calendar section, Kinroot reduces reliance on memory and secondhand interpretation almost entirely. Kinroot is rooted in the fact and understanding that medical experiences rarely affect just one person; they trickle outward through families, friends, and support systems. Designed to be calming, and straightforward Kinroot utilizes nature illustrations and hand drawn icons to counteract the overwhelming reality of clinical conversations. In this app I explore how graphic design can go beyond aesthetics and be designed and motivated for change. Kinroot shows how thoughtful interface design can take overwhelming information and turn it into a shared, straightforward resource for families to go when clarity matters most.
