Summary:

Summary:

Hired by the founder, I led a team of two other talented designers in the UX design efforts for Fylo Health, a health-tech startup specializing in generative AI-driven healthcare access for women and gender minorities. Over a 2-week design sprint, our team conceptualized and designed a user-centered mobile app tailored specifically for women and gender minorities. I played a central role in crafting innovative design solutions, including the onboarding process, which was meticulously designed to create a gentle, non-clinical environment—a departure from the typical approach in medical apps. This approach aimed to establish a safe and welcoming space for users who have faced adversity when seeking medical attention. Our project concluded with successful usability testing, resulting in an outstanding System Usability Score (SUS) and positive user and client feedback. The app effectively met both user needs and business goals.

Objective:

To design a user-centered mobile app for Fylo Health, a health-tech startup specializing in generative AI-driven healthcare access, with a focus on improving healthcare communication and support for women and gender minorities. While both patients and medical providers face unique obstacles, they share a common dissatisfaction with the current outdated patient care system. This app was designed with the goal of empowering patients, particularly women and gender minorities, by bridging the communication gap between patients and healthcare providers.
