TB App for ICN (International Council of Nurses)

Clinical Decision Support App for Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Care

This mobile application was developed in collaboration with the International Council of Nurses (ICN) to support nurses managing side effects associated with drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment. Designed for high-pressure clinical environments, the app delivers structured symptom tracking, evidence-based guidance, and rapid decision support to improve care consistency and reduce preventable risk. The engagement focused on usability, workflow alignment, and clinical-grade reliability across global healthcare settings.

Problem & Opportunity

• Drug-resistant TB treatments present complex and variable side effects
• Nurses lack centralized digital tools for structured monitoring

Solution & Execution

• Designed a nurse-first mobile experience optimized for frontline healthcare settings
• Built structured side-effect tracking flows aligned with treatment protocols
• Integrated quick-reference clinical guidance for rapid decision support
• Optimized interface for low-friction, daily use in resource-constrained environments
• Ensured scalability across international healthcare systems

Impact & Outcome

• Improved consistency in monitoring and documentation of side effects
• Reduced cognitive load for nurses managing complex treatment regimens
• Successfully launched in collaboration with ICN for global distribution
• Strengthened digital support infrastructure for frontline healthcare workers

What This Demonstrates

• Clinical workflow-aligned product design
• Decision-support systems in regulated healthcare environments
• Collaboration with international health institutions
• High-usability mobile architecture for frontline medical professionals
