Throughout this project I discovered the world of accessiblity. Because our target audience were people with mental disabilities, I really had to dive into their world and learn what difficulties they experience.

From not being able to read, to being colorblind to being super forgetfull. Every person is different, and every user needed a different UI. 

So I came up with the idea of having a modular interface, which can be set up by the caretaker.

The interface needed to be simple and have as little text as possible. Working mostly with icons, and the option for text to speech. 

Via multiple interviews with the caretakers and testing with the target audience themselves.

We found that for some of the users feel concious about using special apps, because of shame. 
Which is another reason for a modular interface

So what was Ruby?
Ruby was a personal assistant first, reminding users to eat, or take their medicine. Or help lessen their anxiety when taking the bus. Someone to talk to, to help with invicible struggles.
