Overview

UPod is a comprehensive question bank and study platform designed specifically for podiatry board exam preparation. It combines high-volume question practice with performance analytics and adaptive review to maximize student readiness.

The platform supports podiatry students preparing for high-stakes board exams by converting raw question practice into actionable insights and personalized study plans.

My role focused on end-to-end product design, from the question-taking interface to analytics dashboards, test creation flows, and subscription management.

Problem

Podiatry students face three core challenges:

  • -Massive question banks with no clear prioritization
  • -Poor feedback loops: students answer hundreds of questions without knowing where to focus
  • -Minimal visibility into weak spots or time efficiency
  • -Existing tools overwhelm users with data but fail to guide what to do next
Design Goals

01Reduce cognitive load during question practice
