As president of my local chapter of PERIOD: The Menstrual Movement, I've listened to many stories about the confusion and shame of starting your period for the first time. 44% of girls don't know what is happening to them during their first period, and 60% feel scared (The Independent). Juno is a period tracker for the 11-14 age range designed to meet that need.
I wanted to balance a playful nature appropriate for the age range with dignity appropriate for a health app. I avoided the hot pinks and purples common in period products to be more inviting for genderqueer users.
In wireframing the app, I focused on designing a simple tracker that would not involve fertility, providing convenient resources for common questions, and creating a welcoming interface that users would feel eager, rather than ashamed, to use.
The onboarding process walks the user through the initial setup process. If a user selects "yes" on the "is this your first period?" page, the app skips the "how long is your cycle" page.
The main interface provides tracking and informational resources. Push notifications can remind the user when their period is starting and when they need to change sanitary products.
