Droplette has created a simple to use skin care device that delivers highly effective serums through micro-infusion technology - providing users with up to 90% more effective absorption.
This device was designed with the intention of connecting to a designated Droplette app, which would help users build regimens, order products, track their usage and more.
We teamed up with Droplette to design and build the Droplette app and set up their device for Bluetooth connection.
The team at Droplette designed their microinfusion device to be paired with a Droplette app, which would help users create regimens, order products, track their usage and more - while providing Droplette with insight into how and when users are using the device.
Unfortunately, once the original build of the app was completed, it immediately began experiencing communication issues which resulted in a failure to connect to the device. As a result, the application was shut down, and has been inoperable for over a year.
The Droplette team reached out to Yeti with their new plan: revitalize the app, establish a successful connection to the device and re-launch it as Droplette Labs.
Our challenge with this project included designing an sleek, easy-to-use application that helps users develop an effective skin care routine, while also driving sales and feeding important data back to the Droplette team. A crucial part of our challenge involved devising a plan for consistently and successfully pairing the mobile app and device, allowing for a consistent and seamless user experience.
Our first step was developing a consistent connection between the Droplette device and app. We began by examining the device and current code to gain a better understanding of how the device and software communicate, while also investigating the existing code to ensure that a react native app would be feasible. At this point it was also necessary for us to begin designing the app screens that, once implemented, would dictate the device's functionality.
Our next step included designing and implementing the basic features that would allow us to beta test the product with users. Once we created a basic onboarding screen and the ability to switch device modes, we provided users with the beta version of the app, with the intention of utilizing the information gathered to further develop our designs and prepare for a full feature launch.
Based on the results of beta testing, we began designing a robust set of features that would be included in the full feature launch. To ensure the app was consistent with the Droplette brand, our design team created design mood boards based on Droplette’s current website design, helping to establish the app’s visual styling.
We then began designing the feature screens, including:
The Droplette device and app are currently in beta, as we continue rebuilding the apps backend, which will allow us to implement the features noted above. Once completed the Droplette app and device will be publicly launched with fully developed features, including integrated customer support and marketing programs. Stay tuned!
