Project Description
Kali Healthcare is a University of Melbourne spin-out building wearable pregnancy monitoring. A small sensor worn by the mother transmits real-time data to a smartphone app, which relays it to a web portal where clinicians can monitor wellbeing remotely. The product needed a UI that worked for two very different users: expecting parents at home, often first-time users who needed reassurance and clarity, and clinicians at the hospital reviewing data across multiple patients who needed precision and speed.
We worked alongside DEPT's product team on the full UI across the patient-facing mobile app and the clinician web portal. The agreed design principles were clear: trusting and friendly for patients, dense and precise for clinicians. For the mobile app, the priority was reassurance — clean data visualisation, gentle language, and a flow closer to a wellness app than a medical device. For the portal, the priority was density done well — clinicians needed to see across many patients quickly, without the interface becoming a wall of numbers.
A unified product system across app and portal, ready for commercial launch. The platform brings hospital-grade pregnancy monitoring into homes, including remote and underserved communities where access to obstetric care is limited. UNICEF estimates two million babies are stillborn each year. Better monitoring, accessible from home, is part of how that number changes.
