Name of project: Health Journey
Summary of app: The Health Journey App is designed to help individuals who frequently visit healthcare facilities such as cancer patients, those undergoing regular infusions, or anyone managing health conditions to organize and track their health data into one convenient app as a personalized journal.

- What have you learned about usability and accessibility? I learned that something that feels clear or simple to me might not be for someone else. Everyone navigates apps differently, so it’s important to design in a way that feels easy and intuitive for all users. Making things more accessible not only helps those with different needs, but also improves the experience for everyone.
