The Challenges faced

  1. Multiple platforms

There were multiple platforms in the ecosystem. Consistency in mobile app and SaaS application was crucial.

Overcoming the challenge

  • Maintaining scalable design systems

  • Creating design patterns

  1. User adoption

Only appointment booking system was not enough. Increasing the reach by having more and more users was critical.

Overcoming the challenge

  • Create and understand complex user flows

  • Create diverse features

Cultural analysis

The global migration trend
This is resulting in familial separation, posing challenges for healthcare as immigrants often bear the responsibility of remotely managing the health needs of their parents residing in their home countries.

Declined Follow-ups
Individuals are often skipping follow-ups with doctors, potentially risking their well-being due to delayed healthcare interventions.

Managed Data

Only one person is responsible for all the medical data and history, making it challenging to manage everything at once.


This responsibility can become burdensome and overwhelming for that individual.

The name of the app is ‘‘DoctorSay’’. I derived it from the phrase we use when any patient comes home from a doctor’s consultation: ‘So, What did the doctor say?’

Users want the cart button on the top because the cart option is always on the top in other applications they use.

After conducting a thorough analysis of the user's mental model, I recognized the importance of providing information that directly addresses user needs. To enhance usability, I implemented a feature that prominently highlights the latest appointment, allowing users to quickly scan and access relevant information.
