About Zika Alert
Zika Alert is a trauma-informed, accessible health application designed to help individuals understand their personal risk of Zika virus infection and take appropriate protective measures.
Our Journey
Thesis Project
Zika Alert began as Abayomi's thesis project at LSDM - London School of Design and Marketing. "When I learned Zika has no vaccine, I knew I had to do something."
Research & Analysis
Comprehensive desk review and research phase where the Zika Alert brand and mission was formed. View the research documentation.
Design System
Created the Zika Alert Design System with 57 components, trauma-informed patterns, and full WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance. Explore the Design System.
Web App Prototype
First Zika Web App prototype built with Laravel, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and Leaflet maps. Features include interactive risk map, real-time alerts, and health information resources. This prototype serves to gather user feedback and insights that will shape how we build the mobile apps.
Mobile Apps
Native iOS and Android applications built with NativePHP, featuring push notifications, offline support, and location-based risk alerts to reach more communities.
We're seeking collaboration and partnership to scale this milestone.
