FurCare (PetPrends)- Foster Pet adoption application

Fur Care project
Pet Prends - A foster pet adaption application
The primary goal via the application and adaption is to save pets by providing them with proper home food, shelter, and care. This involves considering factors such as production rate, death rates, human harm, lack of care, and medical issues. Empathy and care are emphasized, with products such as pet care, food, clothing, accessories, medical help, and long-term pet needs organized. And to make their lives sustainable and provide a better understanding of the products and their use.
Pet Prends
Pet- Domesticated tamable animals around us
Prends- Friends (meme language) easy attraction for Continuum generations like Gen Z etc.
Understanding the Problem
Problem. Foster Pets needed to matched with thier new families and loved, cared & empathised as they deserve.
Relevance. Pets provide basic love and care, emotionally connecting with humans, and potentially improving physical, mental, and emotional well-being. However, humans often live in constant pursuit of traps and money, forgetting their human touch and the connection they crave. Pets can provide a sense of connection and help alleviate the pressures of daily life.

The intense surroundings often lead to people neglecting reality and feeling stung by spatial things, causing them to starve for love and affection.
As the progression, the application named as PetPrends. As in pet + friends to pet and prends .
Define and addressing.
The insights collected and prioritized as follows:
Pet statistics, demographics, features, breed, gender, care, instructions, feeding habits, allergies, and more are crucial for understanding individual pets.
Adaptation involves studying their environment, such as survival habits, optimal temperatures, custom handlings, and special care for challenging animals.
Understanding user persona is essential for navigating the process.
If a pet has health issues and medication is in progress, educate the user accordingly.
The app should also help improve bonding between the user and pet and provide updates on local pets.
Adding new pets to the family and taking responsibility for their upbringing are essential aspects of pet care.
Research and Competitor Analysis
I conducted a thorough analysis of existing psychological support services by examining competitors’ UI, UX, user flow, IA, and key features. They discovered that there are numerous platforms related to psychological information, indicating a need for further research.
Disadvantages of the platforms:
First of all — it’s really difficult to understand the quality of the content offered.
Secondly — a lot of them have non-readable content with bad UX/UI components.
Thirdly —The content is not holistic as it lacks applications on specific topics that the individual is interested in.
Dog Care apps— An online web platform that helps you to improve yourself through Dogs behavioral patterns and pet instructions. The platform provides users with a wide range of articles.
PsyPractice — International media brand combining magazine, site, mobile applications, and psychological testing. They have online therapy, videos, articles, events, and speaking forums.
Scenario
Who’s it for? We have 3 types of users:
People that need Pets to be their family
Pets who want to share their rest of being with new family.
Care Units teams to manage and participate in.
Vital takeaways
The key to successful content marketing is understanding the quality of the content, including the author’s professional background and visibility.
Relevant, high-quality information is crucial, as people often have limited time to search for quality content. Content should be personalized to the user and easy to use.
Research is often avoided by managers and companies, but conducting polls and qualitative interviews can reveal real users and help break free from personal assumptions and predict user behavior.
This approach helps businesses stay ahead of the competition and improve their online presence.
User Persona
The survey revealed various user types with diverse needs. Based on insights and common patterns, three personas were created, each expressing their goals and motivations.
These personas were summarized to communicate common behaviors and convey the data in a character.

As from the user interviews and one on one sessions the questions (open ended) detailed and segregated in categories.

Here are the screens designed for the application.
Well, That's a Wrap!
Conclusion
What did I learn?

Designing the app has been a challenging and rewarding journey.
The project highlighted the significance of the research stage in product development. Through in-depth interviews, the author learned about user needs and how to make the application valuable. Skipping this stage could result in a product that no one needs, highlighting the importance of thorough research.

Tested with design teams and feedback is constructed in such a way that, there is always room for improvement and can be adaptable to reality.
User testing will be done when the prototype comes into existence with Organizations to lead and support the prod.

It means a lot to me that you stayed around to the finish of this case study. This was the design project (Adding the features of best ones into one) I had ever worked on, and it was jam-packed with lessons about thinking from both the user and the business perspectives, handling multiple stakeholders, honing my craft, iterating, incorporating feedback, improving, making something beautiful, taking a stand, and charting a vision.
And I hope I was able to do justice for the time you’ve spent reading this, by sharing the knowledge that came along with this project.

For any feedback/ further discussions do drop a comment, or reach out to me directly on LinkedIn, MediumGitHub

See you around Champ!

Adios!

Thank you for your time.

Kindly check the Prototype and as always, feedback is welcome.
