Overview
Built as part of the founding team of the CVS Digital Innovation Lab, this was a medication reminder app for the Apple Watch, created shortly after the watch first launched.
Problem
The Apple Watch was brand new, and at the time its core strength was really just notifications. Rather than trying to force features the platform couldn't support yet, we looked for a problem that notifications alone could meaningfully solve — and medication adherence was a clear fit.
Role and Responsibilities
I was a core member of the team that started the CVS Digital Innovation Lab and helped shape this app.
Solution
We built a lightweight medication reminder app that used the watch's notification strength to prompt people at the right moment to take their medication.
Results and Impact
The app helped users stay on top of their medication schedules — which, in turn, supported more consistent prescription refills, a meaningful business outcome for CVS's pharmacy business.
Reflection
This project is a good example of designing for a brand-new platform by leaning into the one thing it already did well, rather than over-building for capabilities it didn't have yet.
