I led the end-to-end design efforts for HealthTab from its inception, transforming complex health test results into a clear, user-friendly experience. This multi-phase project involved designing an intuitive Point of Care system for pharmacies, enabling users to seamlessly onboard and access their health data.

Following this, I designed the web application, where users automatically received a personalized online account upon signup at the pharmacy. This platform allowed them to easily monitor, interpret, and organize their test results.

The final phase of the project was the product website, where we distilled a wealth of complex information into an engaging, easy-to-navigate experience that effectively communicated HealthTab’s value. Through thoughtful UX and UI design, I helped bridge the gap between clinical data and patient-friendly insights, ensuring a seamless digital experience across all touchpoints.
