User Research

Reduced drop-off by 30% across critical moments (search → selection → booking → visit) by designing an end-to-end patient experience that helps patients find reliable doctors, schedule appointments fast, and confidently complete video consultations.

Timeframe: 3 weeks
Role: User Experience Consultant
Self-owned : UX strategy, UX/UI design, prototyping and validation

Ownership & Key Decisions

Responsible for the whole experience, including defining the journey and information architecture, designing flows and UI, building the prototype, and taking notes for validation before handing it off.

The choices I made:

  • Put Upcoming schedule on Home → reduces missed consults

  • Show signs of trust early on to help people make a confident choice more quickly.

  • Keep one CTA (“Make appointment”) → less decision overloadMake video controls obvious → prevents call-failure stress

Problem

Users stop using healthcare apps when:

  • Discovery is slow (finding the right specialist)

  • Trust is unclear (who’s credible?)

  • Booking + video feels confusing (drop-offs)

Goal: make it fast, trustworthy, and easy to complete end-to-end.

Constrains

3-week timeframe → quick iterations, limited scope

  • Solo ownership → research → flows → UI → prototype → validation

  • Limited real-world data at design time (profiles/ratings standardized in prototype)

  • High-stakes trust context → clarity > visual novelty

  • Teleconsult usability → controls must be instantly obvious

Approach

Designed key moments:

Made one clear path: Find → Rate → Book → Go (Video)

  • Home: search, see upcoming appointments, and get helpful suggestions.

  • Doctor profile: trust signals + reviews + one clear CTA

  • Video visit: obvious controls + minimal distractions

Validation

To validate the design direction within the 3-week window, I ran lightweight usability testing on a high-fidelity prototype (remote, task-based). These are prototype findings and will be re-validated after development.

Prototype usability results (directional)

Remote prototype testing: n= 8 + 8 + 8

All over findings

  • ~85–90% completed find → profile → book tasks

  • Key info found in <10s

  • ~80–90% understood video controls on first try

What this implies

The structure reduced ambiguity and improved user confidence at the two highest-risk points:

  • choosing a doctor

  • joining/controlling a video consult

Next step: After development, re-run usability testing

  • booking drop-off rate

  • time-to-book

  • video visit join success rate

  • support tickets related to consult controls
