THE CHALLENGE
Current EHR systems make documenting and tracking localized conditions inefficient, as clinicians must navigate multiple screens, rely on text-heavy inputs, and lack a centralized view to monitor progress over time.
WHAT I DID
IF I HAD MORE TIME
User Testing. I would have conducted usability tests with clinicians to validate the concepts and gather real-world feedback.
Deeper Research. I would have explored additional use cases and conducted further research to refine the solution and expand its impact.
Product Integration. I would have continued collaborating with the team on integrating this feature into the larger product ecosystem, which was still in development at the time.
LEARNINGS
Embracing Ambiguity. The complexity of healthcare required a lot of research, pushing me to become more resourceful. Through this experience I learned to be more resilient and stay positive despite setbacks.
Communication. Whether conducting user interviews, explaining design decisions to my team and stakeholders, or presenting my work, effective communication was key. Over the course of my internship, I improved my presentation skills and learned the art of storytelling to make ideas resonate with my audience.
Proactively Seeking Feedback. Another key part of my internship was learning to regularly ask for feedback and share my work with different people at various stages. Hearing different perspectives often led to better solutions.
