<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please provide us a brief bio of yourself and your health industry background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Hello, I’m Kong Lingshuang, currently residing in San Jose. I’m a product designer and UX engineer with a background in both design and programming. I thrive on employing human-centered thinking, rational design, and cutting-edge technology to craft digital products that enhance people’s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My journey in the health industry began at UCSD HXI Laboratory, where I served as a designer for an AI-driven stroke detection program. Subsequently, I leveraged AI technology to develop EasyMed, a mobile application designed to assist users in identifying adverse drug reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What motivated you to pursue this particular health initiative, and what impact has it had on individuals or communities?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone encounters illnesses, whether chronic or seasonal. However, most individuals lack specialized medical knowledge, which can lead to inadvertent misuse or incorrect administration of medications, potentially exacerbating their health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By harnessing AI technology, EasyMed aids users in identifying adverse reactions between medications as well as between medications and food items, thereby enhancing their health awareness and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, your job profile, and the specific responsibilities you undertake?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our design studio is called EasyMed, co-founded by myself and Yumei Feng. Our primary focus lies in the design and development of the EasyMed product. As co-founders of the studio, Yumei and I jointly oversee the product’s design and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the studio, I hold the role of Product Designer and UX Engineer. My responsibilities encompass leading the product planning, design process, and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. Can you share a specific story or testimonial that exemplifies the positive impact your project has had on an individual or community?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary is a senior adult living by herself and she is taking 5+ medications to relieve her high blood pressure, back pain and kidney disease. She is always worrying about the adverse drug-drug and drug-food interactions. After using our app, she said “I would definitely recommend this app to my friends. I find it really helpful in avoiding potential drug interactions and planning appropriate meals for daily life!”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that EasyMed emerges as a groundbreaking solution, addressing the critical issue of polypharmacy and holding the potential to revolutionize medication management for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What inspired you to create this health-related creative project, and what message or impact were you aiming to conve<\/strong>y?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inception of this product idea stemmed from my personal experience. Being on multiple prescription medications alongside a regimen of various vitamins, I found myself pondering whether these combinations might lead to adverse reactions when I contracted a fever and needed to take a fever reducer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This prompted me to delve deeper into the potential interactions between the medications I was taking and my diet. In exploring this concern further, I interviewed a diverse range of individuals, including many elderly people, and discovered that they harbored similar worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I firmly believe that this product can assist individuals, particularly the elderly who are often on multiple medications, in better navigating the avoidance of adverse reactions. By doing so, it enhances their quality of life and promotes their overall physical well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
