Educating Women through Pregnancy

Expecting and Empowered logo.
Expecting and Empowered is a wellness-focused brand committed to supporting pregnant women and new mothers by providing expert-backed workout guides, health resources, and a thriving online community. Recognizing a growing demand for digital accessibility and personalized user experiences, the brand sought to transition from physical products to a more interactive digital platform.

Their goal? To empower women to navigate pregnancy and postpartum with confidence, using a mobile app that would offer customized workouts, educational content, and community support at their fingertips.

Challenges Faced by the Client

Before the launch of their mobile app, Expecting and Empowered faced several challenges:

  1. Limited Reach and Accessibility:
    Their physical workout guides and printed materials were limited in reach and lacked the flexibility and convenience of a digital solution.

  2. Fragmented User Engagement:
    Community interactions primarily took place on social media platforms like Facebook, which made it difficult to create a cohesive, branded experience for their users.

  3. Lack of Personalized Content Delivery:
    Users had no way to access customized workout plans or track progress, which are essential for building user engagement and loyalty.

  4. Data and Insights Gap:
    The client had limited visibility into how users were engaging with their content, making it hard to improve or tailor their offerings based on real-time feedback.

 

Our Approach & Solution

At IDE Interactive, we took a user-first approach to designing the mobile app for Expecting and Empowered. Here's how we tackled the project:
