Travel Healthy, our project for participatory infectious disease surveillance, has been nominated for the UX Design Awards 2024 @uxdawards 💫 ✨

The New York Times recently published an article about the recent shift in genetic research toward dogs (and cats!) featuring Professor Elinor Karlsson (@eenork) of the UMass Chan Genomics and Computational Biology department. https://t.co/g6GkYiBFG5

@uxdawards @UMassChan @mgh_id TH is a new mobile app for international travelers to report symptoms of illness and manage their health while on a trip. The UX design of TH has been led by the very talented @MolliyD 🙏

@uxdawards For the past 2+ years, my lab at @UMassChan has been collaborating with Dr. Regina LaRocque and her team from Massachusetts General Hospital Travelers’ Advice and Immunization Center @mgh_id. Together, we designed, implemented, and launched Travel Healthy

And the third and final part about the user-centric design process we used for TH:

Second part about the development process of the TH app:

Part of this amazing project from many collaborators, worked closely with the @umassmed_zlab to design the user interface and experience for the psychSCREEN website: https://t.co/oLjvvZA4Qg (thanks Elo for all your hard work and the beautiful illustrations!) @PsychENCODE24 📜‼️
