Most recovery apps feel like EHRs on mobile. Dense, impersonal, clinical. Patients don't want to feel like a patient every time they open it — they want to feel like a person in a community.
No P2P messaging. Invite-only access. Data minimization at every step. Each privacy rule is a potential UX blocker — unless you treat constraints as design inputs from day one, not afterthoughts.
Journaling, checking the community, RSVP'ing to an event — if it takes three taps more than it should, patients stop. Daily health habits live and die on milliseconds of hesitation.
Every behavioral health facility has its own identity. The design system was built to be fully swappable — facilities replace the brand tokens, everything else stays consistent.
We mapped the overlap between three constraints: the facility's clinical workflow, the patient's daily reality, and healthcare compliance. Where those three met is where the product could live.
Before a single screen, we defined the shortest path to a daily-use app: login, journal, community, one-way messaging. Anything that wasn't required to open the app on a Tuesday morning was cut to phase two.
One module at a time: designed in Figma, reviewed with the client, iterated, approved, moved to Ready for Dev. No parallel threads, no half-shipped modules. The rhythm was the point.
Each module shipped with annotated Figma frames, engineering stories written to spec, and HTML prototypes for ambiguous interactions. Developers never had to guess.

A patient experience designed to hold up across facilities, platforms, and years of recovery — not just a launch.
