Projects
DALI
UX/UI design for UNESCO | MGIEP and National Brain Research Center
DALI is a package developed by National Brain Research Center (NBRC) that contains screening tools for school teachers and assessment tools for psychologists in Indian Languages to identify dyslexia. Actual purpose of this tool would depend on outreach of these tools to parents of children and school teachers as well as training of teachers and parents in diagnosis and subsequent management. For rapid replication and uniformity in the test administration, a digital platform was required for test administration and assessment. I designed user experience and user interface for this application.
