I was looking to really stand out with my UI with this product. I consider my concept to be “ground-breaking” “futuristic” and “organized”. I curated a moodboard featuring a blend of sleek UI elements, futuristic mockups, and a palette of preliminary colors to capture the essence of Health Hub. It was important to me toEmphasize elements conveying innovation, cutting-edge technology, and a sense of orderliness, aligning with the product’s groundbreaking and organized nature.

Throughout our lives, we will see upwards of 30 doctors throughout our lives. The current process is always the same, register with new doctor, submit family and personal medical history, sign up for office’s patient portal. keeping track of where individual records is located becomes increasingly hard when switching doctors. The solution? Reclaiming your own medical data. The problem? The current market’s solutions are hard to navigate, out-dated, and all around boring. Taking control of your health should be, and can be, something exciting. That’s the goal of HealthHub.
This project was inspired by my own thirst for my personal health data. I have switched primary care physicians many times throughout my life, let alone dentists, mental health professionals, and specialists. This got me wondering if there was a way to securely store all this health data and gain possession of my own records.
Initial Sketches
The Crazy 8’s exercise ignited a burst of creativity, enabling the exploration of diverse design ideas for Health Hub. The initial userflow concepts of the app can be viewed, an account creation flow, and the one I decided to spotlight: The flow from login to accessing an imported .pdf document. The Crazy 8’s exercise successfully set the stage for a design process that is deeply attuned to the varied needs of Health Hub’s users.
Paper Wireframes
Polishing my preliminary designs from the initial sketches, I targeted my flow, and began tidying up the interface. I ensured that I incorporated learnings from the Crazy 8’s exercise and early user testing into the wireframes. I Prioritized usability, clear information architecture, and adherence to healthcare UX best practices.
Initial Figma Wireframes
I imported my hand-drawn sketches into digital wireframes, integrating the refined ideas into a cohesive and structured design. I used Figma to create digital wireframes, incorporating visual elements, interactive components, and refining user flows.
Through my research, I found that there were many options for storing this data, also known as a Personal Health Record, Even apple has a simplified way of storing basic data, blood type, allergies, and vital health data. Problem solved, it already exists; right? The concept had evolved into one that contains all the “likely features” of the existing apps, with an emphasis on viewing your data trends in a manner that excites you to better yourself. The research process was one that contained personally conducted surveys, competitor analyses, feature charting, and compilation of public data in relation to health apps.
