AWARE: Wildlife Center

A Hackathon for Greenspace and Park Pride


Our challenge was to take an existing communication system into a more sophisticated approach with the option to collect data for future rescues within the time scope of 2 days.

 

After evaluating our business requirements, and hashing out the capabilities, we agreed that a mobile approach would be best.

Beginning with a large pool of ideas, we hashed out as many user journeys we could imagine with heavy detailed multiple screens.

After user testing our LoFi wireframe, we discovered we didn't need to incorporate the injuries screen with redundant information. 

 

 
The user's process would take them from the landing screen to the help screen and then into the injuries screen if the animal was injured instead of abandoned.

I proposed a card design to simplify the necessary information for the landing page. 

The other option to obtaining wildlife information is the camera sticky. The image would utilize OCR technology to read what type of animal and direct the user to the appropriate help information. 

As a last option, there will be a messaging portion after the user is guided to the location page. The message will help streamline the communication process by sending all pertinent information on an animal as well as a photograph of the injury to the centers. This will allow the center workers to view the information more quickly and allow them to respond more accurately.

Scott was pleased with our proposal and invited us to continue working with him on their main website as well.
