Role

Sole Interaction Designer 













Who We’re Designing For:


To address the unique needs of each ophthalmology staff member throughout the patient journey I began by mapping the complete workflow from reception through final billing, 

This aided in creating intuitive interfaces, translating their existing physical workflows into digital cloud based systems.












The Redesign of:
Eye Exam Charting Process


By observing the flow and hierarchy of the existing health record system software, I created an opportunity map and a comprehensive plan of action to tackle high priority changes.

Behind the Making:
Prototyping and Motivation


In the hospital, there was a roll of tissues. On my first day, I didn't have any paper to draw out my ideas, so I quickly grabbed the roll and used it to make some quick sketches. Over time, we continued to use the roll for ideation and prototyping. 







“They (Medical practioners) already have a challenging job, using design as a toolkit can reduce some friction”


- What I keep telling myself and the team









Behind the Making:
Impact & Reflection


Infusing the principles of empathy into user research, I strove to understand the mindset of medical practitioners as they used our product, shaping design decisions accordingly. In the fast-paced startup setting, I gently pushed the team to invest in ethnographic research from time to time to truly understand the peripheral needs of end users.

Overall, I considered myself fortunate to have been part of a mission where my design skills were employed in creating better working conditions for our medical professionals.

I feel a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to have collaborated with Instituto de Ojos Dr. Miguel Santiago Oftalmólogos, Carolina, Puerto Rico, in gradually bringing this vision to fruition. I am humbled by the prospect that, in the near future, more hospitals in the United States will adopt the product.
