Healthcare app design — Christina Stefan

User Interface: Healthcare App

Initial brainstorming for the app’s functionality

How might an app enable users to have more autonomy and clarity over their broad healthcare experience?

Design Science initiated this project as an externally-facing example of UI capabilities, so accompanying UX research was negligible. I completed this project as part of a 2-person team. We worked collaboratively through concept generation, feature delineation, and information architecture refinement. I created all look-and-feel prototypes, including the final, interactive Marvel prototype.

All client work at Design Science is proprietary. For examples of my experience within the user research process, please see Design Research Methods.

Information Architecture

We identified key features the app should integrate, then prototyped the IA in Visio.

Prototype: Functionality

Prototypes: Look and Feel

We iterated on look-and-feel prototypes using Marvel.

Final Prototype

We created the final prototype in Marvel.

Features

The app featured a holistic approach to the user’s healthcare experience. It provided a “home base” for the user to record all current medical information, as well as family history.

Features

The Treatment DNA feature allowed users to establish their personal medical priorities, which influenced the care recommendations they received.

Features

The users could input symptoms to identify potential ailments.

Features

We hypothesized that an app with a more robust data set might be able to provide diagnosis data more reliably than existing interfaces (e.g., WebMD).

Features

Once a diagnosis was proposed, the app would connect users with local specialists who matched with the treatment priorities set during Treatment DNA.

Features

The app would then directly facilitate appointment scheduling.

This project was produced in collaboration with Lindsay Carrabine.
