The product is divided into phases:
Phase 1: Creating a design system for Operation Assistant and Physician Dashboard
Phase 2: Creating a responsive website for Operation Assistant
Phase 3: Designing Physician Dashboard
For this phase, the focus was on creating the design system in order to bring the consistency in among the products on all the platforms.
Before the design system was introduced, the team of developers was missing on small details and aspects of designing like different button states, handling error messages, and so on. Team was focused on hard-core coding which was making it difficult for them to focus on the small and important aspects of designing too. The lack of inconsistency was not providing a proper user experience, but it was also creating a chaos for the developers to code from scratch every time. Additionally, the inconsistency amongst the products was not looking good on the business perspective as well since it needed the series A funding.
The products were available on all the platforms i.e web, desktop, and mobile (iOS & Android). We started with focusing on building a single design system which can be useful across the platforms using the same API and set of properties. This single design system would help developers to switch hassle-free between different development platforms.
The overall focus was to come up with the new design system which works across the platforms, bridge the visual gaps, increase the overall users’ experience, and get the Series A funding.
I started with carrying out the user research for Operation Assistant and understanding ways they are likely to use the application. The data collected will help in designing the web-app for the Operation Assistant.
The focus was also in understanding the competitors in the healthcare market and focusing on ways the content is structured, main focal points of these products, and design elements used.
Based on the data I have gathered from the user research and competitive analysis, I started listing down structures and content for the web app. This clarity helped in rapidly designing the wireframes for the Operation Assistant web version which the company was focusing on using as marketing material.
Every design system needs documentation and here along with the team we have tried our best to achieve it. The aim behind this design system was to ensure consistency across the digital platforms. Below is the complete documentation guide for the HealthEase Design System:
The major outcome was it increased the productivity of developers and helped the team to work efficiently.
The Operation Assistant’s user experience was consistent and cohesive across the digital platforms.
It would help stakeholders to turn in funding as and when required.
The design system will constantly grow and evolve as HealthEase Innovation grows. Carrying out the usability testing of the Operation Assistant will also give some insights in terms of the design system and what things need to be changed.
