The digital transformation of the healthcare sector is no longer a vision of the future, but a market expectation, whether it’s about booking appointments online, uploading prescriptions to the cloud, or consuming educational content on the subject. The EU’s 2024 Sustainable Healthcare with Digital Health Data Competence program also supports the operation of digital healthcare. It highlights that the competencies of developers and healthcare professionals often do not meet, leading to innovative solutions that may be ineffective or lack credibility.

At Smart Design, we understand that people today don’t just want quick access to information when it comes to their health, they also seek credibility and a sense of security. The Rescue Martin app provides exactly that: a digitally-based first aid education tool that allows parents to prepare for the most common emergency situations involving children through interactive learning on their phones.

In our collaboration with the St. Martin Pediatric Emergency Foundation, our goal was not merely to digitise educational content, but to implement it in a way that aligns with the needs and mobile usage habits of the target audience, combining it with the user-friendly online learning trends enabled by good UX design. This is how we transformed an existing first aid manual into an interactive app offering a story-based learning experience, developed with the involvement of doctors and paramedics.

At Smart Design, we believe that a well-structured digital experience can deliver real knowledge and simplify problems that might otherwise seem overly complex, even in a sensitive area like pediatric first aid. Market trends support this view as well: gamified learning solutions, micro-interactions, and adaptive educational systems tend to be more memorable and encourage more active use. One of the app’s unique features is that learning is tied to a tangible experience, not only through text but also with a sensitive visual design and features such as microphone-based practice for rhythmic breathing and motion-based tasks.

This project clearly shows what it means when digital development is not only technology-driven but also human-centered.
