Staying Sharp is an online program offered by AARP -- a nonprofit interest group that focuses on the issues that affect those over the age of 50-- created to educate users on the holistic lifestyle approach to brain health. This program accomplishes that by offering content such as challenges, games, healthy recipes, articles, and more.

I had been brought onto the Staying Sharp team as the lead UX/UI designer to evaluate the current state of the mobile designs done by the previous 3rd party vendor, adjust the information architecture, design net new screens, generate a current state symbol and component library, and finalize all high fidelity designs in preparation for the launch of the application near the end of 2021.

I had also been tasked with the design of the logo and the promotional material seen in the Apple Store and the Google Play Store.

Software Used:

Sketch, Invision, & Figma

New Paragraph

Once the user either logs in or registers for Staying Sharp, they will be brought to the landing page.

The user will be labeled as whatever type of Staying Sharp member they are (AARP Member, Rewards Member, Renew Active, etc.) as well as a small blurb welcoming them to the Staying Sharp app.

They will be presented with some started activities that they can swipe through in the center of the page.

At the bottom of the page is the app navigation which gives the the following options:

My Plan: This is where activities go when the user adds to their plan. Activities can be added during the "apply" phase of a challenge activity

Explore Challenges: Where users will go to see and look through all available challenges in one place

Menu: Where all account management, profile, and setting information is presented. Users can also go to "explore challenges" from here as well. They will also be able to provide feedback on the app as well.

New Paragraph

The menu is broken down into the following sections:

Challenges: This follows the same functionality as the "Explore Challenges" button at the bottom of the screen for navigation. This is where users will go to see and look through all available challenges in one place

Profile: This is where the user's membership details, personal information, and app legal documentation goes

Settings: The settings page here will take the user to the AARP Now settings page which is directly connected with the Staying Sharp application

FAQ: This will take the user to the FAQ -- Frequently Asked Questions-- Staying Sharp website

Submit Feedback: By clicking on this, the user will be taken to the AARP Staying Sharp survey page where they can rate and provide feedback on the app

AARP Now App: This will automatically take the user to the AARP Now application and prompt them to sign in and link their account if they haven't already. If the user does not have the app, they will be brought to their respected app store to download it.

Logout: The user can log out from this screen, as well as from the profile page

The user navigates here when they click on the "profile" option within the menu. Here, it displays the name, email address, and phone number associated with the user's Staying Sharp account.

There is a place for legal documentation such as privacy policy, terms of service, and legal disclaimer information.

There is also the AARP Member Details, which will take the user to a webview of the user's AARP Membership Account page. This shows all the AARP account details that the user has/can refer to (membership number, membership start date and expiration date, AARP subscriptions and other orders, etc.)

The user can also delete their AARP account from here from here, as well as log out of their account as well.

New Paragraph

By clicking on the "Explore Challenges" page at the bottom of the page the landing page or by clicking on it in the menu, the user will be taken to the Challenges page.

Here, users will be able to see a full list of the available challenges within the app. Users will also be able to filter things based based on "in progress", "view all", or "completed".

At the top of the page, there will be a Featured Challenge where users can just jump right into a challenge if they so choose without looking through the challenge list right off the bat. They can even read the introduction of the challenge before starting it by selecting "read more" at the top of screen.
