UWS

Battling Long Covid with Adaptive Pacing

Our third project with the University of the West of Scotland: a recruitment website for the Active Pacing (AP) programme, helping people manage Long Covid symptoms through app-based intervention.

The challenge

Following the success of the previous two websites we designed and launched for UWS, an opportunity arose to add a third: a recruitment website to attract participants living with Long Covid to a pilot study using activity trackers to monitor daily activity.

Professor Sculthorpe wanted this site to be an advancement on the last — and to make visible the activity of the project’s key stakeholders and the momentum the study was building on social media.

Our approach

We revised the design system used for the previous UWS websites and refined the form UI to sit closer to the style of the main university website:

Visible momentum mattered to the project team, so we built a social media API integration to surface every tweet associated with the dedicated UWS projects account:

We then selected campaign graphics and placed clear calls to action for prospective participants throughout the site:

Another distinctive research website for UWS — and a project with a purpose worth building for.
