Individuals diagnosed with Lupus often face added stress due to the seriousness of their health condition. This heightened stress can result in occasional lapses in their daily medication regimen, which is a vital aspect of maintaining their health.

Keeping this in mind, envision a gamified mobile app with progressive achievement levels aimed at motivating and supporting those diagnosed with Lupus to adhere to their daily medication regimen. In this creative endeavor, prioritize the visual design above the technical intricacies required for app development. Our focus is on a compassionate, user-centric design that is aesthetically pleasing and memorable. You have full creative freedom with this challenge but draw inspiration from the Lupus Foundation's existing identity system (such as the color purple and butterflies) and the captivating elements of mobile apps and games is encouraged.

Although not mandatory, incorporating prototyping and animations could enhance the presentation of interaction within your design. This app could be constructed using cross-platform tools like Figma, Flutter, React Native, or other similar applications.
