Hiraal Lifecare

The app

Small enough to do daily. Clear enough to trust.

Hiraal Lifecare was designed for people who are not looking for another app to learn. Every screen on this page is the real interface.

Screen by screen

What you will actually see.

  • The Hiraal Lifecare home screen showing today's blood pressure, blood sugar and weight, and an Add Reading button.

    Home

    Good morning, and today's three numbers. One button: Add Reading.

  • The Hiraal Lifecare blood pressure screen: 120 over 80, marked Normal, with the week's readings drawn as a line.

    Blood pressure

    120 / 80, answered Normal. Systolic, diastolic and pulse, the week as a line, and your recent readings.

  • The Hiraal Lifecare blood glucose screen: 5.4 mmol/L, in range, with readings tagged fasting, after breakfast and before lunch.

    Blood glucose

    5.4 mmol/L, in range, tagged Fasting. Readings tagged after breakfast and before lunch sit underneath.

The record

Your week, in one line.

Choose Today, Week or Month. One measure is drawn at a time, at a scale that suits it — blood pressure and blood sugar are never plotted on the same axis.

Under the chart, your recent readings sit in a plain list with the tag each one was given, so the numbers are there as well as the shape.

Five rules the interface follows

Decisions we made once, and kept.

  • 01

    One thing on screen

    Each screen is about one measure. Nothing competes with the number.

  • 02

    Large numbers

    The reading is the biggest thing on the screen, so it can be read at arm's length.

  • 03

    Nothing under 13 pixels

    Body text is 15 pixels, labels are 13, and grey text never drops below a 4.5:1 contrast ratio.

  • 04

    Two colours, not six

    Navy carries the structure and teal marks every action. Colour is never decoration.

  • 05

    Answer, don't just record

    Every reading comes back as a word — Normal, In range. Capture on its own is only half the job.

Made to be usable

Built for the person, not the demo.

  • Large tap targets

    Buttons are full width and tall. A shaky hand should not cost you a reading.

  • Large type

    The reading is set large enough to read without reaching for glasses.

  • Plain language

    Normal. In range. Fasting. After breakfast. No clinical vocabulary anywhere in the interface.

  • A daily summary

    One line on the home screen tells you whether today's readings are up to date.
