Co-design the concept
Contributed to the team’s nonprofit concept for a low-cost, non-invasive olfactory screening platform.
Olfactory.
Accessible Olfactory Screening Platform
A more approachable screening experience.
Overview
As part of a team, I co-designed a nonprofit concept for a low-cost, non-invasive olfactory screening platform intended to identify early risk signals associated with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. My work focused on the app prototype and screening workflow.
The Challenge
The team explored how standardized smell cards and app-guided steps could make the screening experience more approachable. The design needed a coherent sequence from setup and practice through testing, results, and next-step guidance.
My Contribution
Develop the workflow
Co-developed the screening workflow around standardized smell cards and app-guided testing.
Prototype the core journey
Created a Figma prototype covering setup, practice, testing, results, and next-step guidance.
Process & Design
- 01
Setup & practice
The prototype introduces the screening process and provides a practice stage.
- 02
Guided testing
Standardized smell cards are paired with app-guided test steps.
- 03
Results
The prototype includes a results stage within the overall screening journey.
- 04
Next-step guidance
The final stage provides next-step guidance as part of the proposed experience.
Outcomes
The team won third prize in the 2026 Brain Challenge Competition. My contribution included the app’s core-function Figma prototype and the co-developed screening workflow.
