UX Design Process:
Research and Discovery:
Conducted in-depth interviews with orthodontists, oral surgeons, and pediatric dentists to understand their workflows, challenges, and patient interactions.
Analyzed existing systems and tools to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
Performed user persona development to capture the needs of different stakeholders, including patients, practitioners, and administrative staff.
Ideation and Concept Development:
Brainstormed features that would enhance user experience, such as appointment scheduling, patient education resources, and treatment tracking.
Created user journey maps to visualize the patient experience and identify pain points that the platform could address.
Prototyping:
Developed low-fidelity wireframes to outline the layout and structure of the platform.
Iterated on designs based on feedback from dental professionals, ensuring alignment with their workflows and preferences.
User Testing:
Conducted usability testing sessions with target users to gather insights on the prototype’s functionality and ease of use.
Analyzed feedback to refine the design, enhancing features that resonated well and reworking elements that posed challenges.
Final Design and Implementation:
Delivered high-fidelity prototypes and interactive mockups that showcased the final design.
Collaborated closely with developers to ensure the design was implemented accurately and efficiently.
Design System: To ensure consistency and scalability, a comprehensive design system was established, featuring:
Component Library:
A collection of reusable UI components (buttons, forms, cards) designed to maintain visual coherence across the platform.
Style Guide: Guidelines on typography, color palettes, and iconography that reflect the professional and approachable nature of the dental field.
Responsive Design Principles: Ensured that the platform is accessible across devices, accommodating users on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Conclusion: The successful collaboration with dental professionals resulted in a user-centered digital platform that not only improves operational efficiency but also enhances patient engagement and satisfaction. The projects underscored the importance of understanding diverse user needs and demonstrated the value of a structured UX design process in creating effective solutions for specialized fields.
