easypod AR description

‘easypod® AR’ (Augmented Reality) is an interactive digitized version of the easypod® 's (device) Instructions For Use. It provides instructions and details on how to correctly administer treatment using the easypod® device.

The App serves as a tool for patients to get an in depth look at the steps of the injection process using AR technology for an immersive learning experience to address and reduce issues potentially caused by user error. The app also helps healthcare providers to address questions patients or caregivers may have after in-person training and to provide support in between office visits.

1. On- boarding with Barcode Scan The first-time a user launches the app, they will go through an “on-boarding” process. First the user will be given the option to select their preferred language. After a language is selected, the user will need to read through the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and accept them to move forward. Then there is tutorial to give a brief explanation about the app. That is followed by a message to scan their device; the user must scan (or manually enter) the barcode on the back of their device to gain access to all the content.

2. Home Screen Once the user’s barcode is verified, they are directed to the “Home Screen”. Here the user will find a place where they can navigate to all the features the app has to offer. First time users will go through a guided tour of the app and all its features and where to find them.

3. Modules On the “Home Screen” the user will find nine modules where the majority of the learning content is found. The first five modules outline AR to teach the core steps of the injection process. The remaining four modules contain useful information on how to care for their device, transfer data, and other tips. Each module consists of a tutorial followed by a quiz.

4. Zen and Free Play mode As the user completes modules they will earn coins based on their performance in the quizzes. Users can then use those coins to simply play with the app character Zen in the Free Play mode (Free play allows the user to personalise, move, and interact with the virtual Zen character and easypod) which appears in AR. The coins can be used to buy accessories to dress Zen up as well as for changing his colours.
