HOW - RELEVANT INVESTIGATION

research backed design

USABILITY ANALYSIS

usability heuristic evaluations

#1 visibility of system status

Users found the task overwhelming due to the lack of progress indicators, making it difficult to estimate its length or duration.

#4 consistency and standards

Users were thrown off when they saw an unfamiliar age input. Further, it was very finicky which frustrated them.

#10 help and documentation

Users overlooked the detailed text about the intake, leading to confusion due to unretained information by the end.

ITERATIVE DESIGNS

using behavioural insights

1. Nudging for well-being - In the revised interface, the 'welcome' screen features a crucial notification advising users against engaging with the intake process during emergencies. This enhancement aims to guide users' decisions towards their well-being without compromising their freedom of choice.

before and after screens

2. Minimizing perceived effect - Given the intake's nested logic, the duration varies with each user's symptom complexity. Initially, progress was shown via a screen or modal after each question category. Recognizing the need for a more nuanced approach, I integrated a subtle progress tracker into the main interface, not drawing the user’s attention to its’ length.

FORWARD THINKING

going beyond the job description

1. Search engine - Allowing users to report all symptoms simultaneously reduces their mental effort and decision-making burden. This approach empowers patients to share comprehensive details about their health concerns, offering relief and making the intake process more predictable.

2. Summary - Providing users the option to review and edit their health information before submission ensures accuracy and offers comfort, leading to a positive experience.
