User Research & Insights

Listening to the people who matter most.

I conducted research with both healthcare professionals and expectant mothers to deeply understand the pain points in current maternal care. The insights shaped every design decision in MomSAFE.

Expert Consultations

Healthcare Professionals

Consulted with labor nurses and OB/GYNs who advocated for pain-rating scales and simplified medical terminology — making clinical information accessible to all mothers.

User Interviews

Expectant Mothers

Interviewed pregnant women who expressed a strong need for real-time support — especially during off-hours when their providers aren't available.

It's not expected that an average mother understands complex medical terms.
