Healthcare & Diagnostics

Overview

I have worked on several end-to-end initiatives for one of the largest Diagnostic Medicine companies in Latin America. One of these projects involved integrating a patient list from the company’s clinics into an app that previously only displayed patient lists from hospitals. Additionally,  improved the exam reading experience—the main app flow—which is used daily by over 4,000 doctors.

Improving App Functionality and User Experience

Challenge

Add the clinics patient to the app and improve the exame reading experience (Main App flow) to more than 4.000 Doctors

Step by step

Read and understand the user comments  and rate from the Stores (App Store and Play Store)
Collect and understand feedback inside the App
Watch the navigation recording from Smartlook
Interview the user and Stakeholders

Duration

Following the comments, rating from the stores, feedback inside tha pp and the recordings was conducted together with the interview with User and Stakeholdes which take us 1 week to be done by the lack of agenda.

Usability and Navigation Challenges

Navigation

The exam page header is very large and fixed, making navigation and space for viewing exams difficult.
The experience of reading exam results in collapse on the same screen is complex.
It is not possible to access other company services within the app
The experience of reading exam results in PDF on your phone is complex.

Information

Information hierarchy on the exam page does not prioritize exam cards.
The buttons distributed throughout the exam page take up significant space
The information displayed on the exam cards is not enough.
The information displayed about patients is not enough.

Prescription

It is currently not possible to make any type of prescription in the application (POC Memed).
Changing hospitals (consequently CRM) is difficult and takes place outside the context of the operation.

Hypothesis Definition

We believe that

Organizing patient data and test results in a more relevant and uncomplicated way in a new architectural model would improve the app's user experience.

To check this, we will

Make adjustments to the hierarchy and architecture of the exam reading flow and perform a usability test.

And we will measure

Success rate in usability testing tasks
Stickiness / Adhesion of product use
Event tracking / Opening the Persistent Bottom Sheet with patient information

We will be right if

Success rate in usability test tasks at least 80%
Stickiness / Minimum 2% increase
Event Tracking / CTR of at least 3%

Usability test structure

Usability test structure

The test was carried out with 5 medical users who already use the app on a daily basis and 3 doctors who had never used the app (habit transfer comparison).

Material

Script / questions were created that “forced” interaction directly with the proposed improvements
Casting / A total of 8 doctors were recruited, all of them Dasa Network employees.
Moderated usability testing
Finding report and presentation to the team about the main results of the test.

Challenges

Getting 45 minutes in the doctors' schedule was a complicated task, the practice of usability testing with doctors was not very widespread and it was also not possible to provide a bonus to any of the doctors due to Compliance rules.An agenda with 5 doctors already using the app was carried out through Stakeholders and the 3 doctors who were not yet users of the app underwent a “guerrilla” usability test in the hospital cafeteria during free hours (it wasn’t easy lol)

Usability test result

8 / 8 People

They were able to locate the patient and the proposed exam (Hemogram)

8 / 8 People

Understand that the position and amount of information about the patient is relevant

8 / 8 People

They were able to read the exam results within the collapse

8 / 8 People

They reported that the experience of reading the exam directly on the screen is better, compared to the PDF

7 / 8 People

Understand how much information on the relevant exam card

7 / 8 People

Understood the status of the exams on the results page

6 / 8 People

Managed to locate and interact with the context menu button in the header

Final results

3%

Increased Stickiness

80%

CTR Opening the Persistent Bottom Sheet

67%

Time spent on the exam results screen

29%

CTR: Opening context menus in the Header

78%

CTR Opening the exam results before reading in PDF
