Project Deliverables

50+ screens designed, Design Styleguide

01 Context

Genetic disease analysis is a very complex process that requires a lot of manual work with data. Currently, it can take up to several months until the patient gets his/her diagnosis after submitting the blood test results. AION solves this problem by allowing test labs to run complex analysis much faster.

02 Collaborative Goal

The collaborative goal was to develop a new visual language, establish a design styleguide, create a library of components, and design an MVP that seamlessly integrates new features into the existing ecosystem. This would ensure a consistent and intuitive user experience.

03 Problem Statement

How might we significantly shorten the time to diagnose a genetic disease?

04 My Role

As the Product Designer for Nostos Genomics' AION project, I designed an MVP from scratch, and integrated new features on the way while ensuring a consistent UX. I developed a visual language, style guide, and components library, collaborating closely with the team and stakeholders.

05 Main Challenge

The key challenge was designing for scientists in genetic diagnostics. Understanding their complex work was crucial, and a scientist on our team provided invaluable insights and feedback.

Our Process

01

Research & Exploration

In this first stage, my main goal was to dig deeper into the problem of genetic disease diagnostics and the industry status quo. I have talked to the main stakeholders, and our end users and researched all kinds of information on this topic. After that, I gained a deep understanding of user needs and how our MVP is going to make their life better.

02

UX & Product strategy

Based on the User research insights, together with the Product Manager and a Customer Success manager, we created a product vision that included the strategic roadmap, hi - level UX concepts, and a list of features to include in the product. We then formulated requirements and developed a product strategy that would guide our design decisions. User Needs + Business Goals = List of Key Features & Product Vision.

UX/UI Design

During the UX/UI design stage I developed the advanced UX for the features, defined within the Product Strategy. I have also created visual elements of the platform, including color schemes, typography, and iconography while ensuring consistency with the brand identity. I established a clear visual hierarchy to emphasize important information and conducted extensive usability testing to ensure that the design was user-friendly and intuitive. My goal was to deliver a design that facilitated easy navigation and increased user engagement with the AI-driven variant interpretation platform.

04

Optimization

During the optimization stage, we conducted user testing and gathered feedback from end-users to identify areas for improvement. This feedback allowed us to refine the design and address any issues that arose during testing. We also focused on optimizing the platform's performance, including reducing load times and increasing the speed of data analysis. Through ongoing testing and iterations, we were able to deliver a high-quality MVP that met the needs of our users and provided a seamless experience for genetic scientists.
