Managing a chronic health condition is a daily challenge for millions of people. Medications go untracked, appointments are forgotten, and medical documents are scattered across emails, folders, and scraps of paper. Existing apps fail to address this. They are either too complex, too narrowly focused, or lock essential features behind paywalls.

HedgeCare is a cross-platform mobile application designed to solve this problem. Built using React Native and Expo, it runs natively on iOS, Android, and web from a single codebase. It gives users one simple, unified place to track medications, manage appointments, and store medical documents securely.

Privacy is a core principle of the application. All data is stored in compliance with GDPR on EU-based infrastructure. Usability was prioritised throughout development. Every key action was designed to be completed in under three taps, with a calm and accessible interface that avoids overwhelming the user. The app also features a personalised AI-powered greeting, creating a more engaging experience for people managing long-term health conditions.
