Allyist
Interaction Design.


18% of reproductive-aged people assigned female at birth have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) It is very likely that most people have or will have a relationship with someone that has PCOS. Because PCOS is a complicated, difficult to treat, underfunded, chronic condition, the negative impact it has on lives is hard to measure. Helping people affected by PCOS access accurate information regarding their health can encourage hope and healing. Allyist is a solution to this problem. Allyist is an interactive digital tool. This project is a social pedagogy project aimed to improve the health-seeking journey of someone with PCOS. This project was heavily researched and tested for my graduate thesis. View published thesis here.
