Supporting Cat Owners in Caring for Their Cats' Health

Info about the Project

Our project works in collaboration with Pumpkin, a pet health insurance company, to support cat owners in caring for their cats' health. Compared to dogs, there's a significant gap in the frequency of veterinary visits for cats. Our research seeks to understand how cat owners recognize and respond to their cats being unwell and cat owners' relationships with the veterinarian. Using this research, we aim to identify core problems that we can solve through the design process.
