The problem statement

04
📔 Lack technical literacy
The healthcare industry is still very behind with digitisation, especially in developing countries like India. Due to this users are also unaware of healthcare digitisation.
The process
Empathy map
An empathy map helped deepen my understanding of the users, offering valuable insights into the motivations behind their actions.
User journey mapping
The user mapping provided me a valuable insights into which features are likely to have a greater impact on the users' moods, requirements, and preferences.
Value propositions
The value proposition proved to be a valuable group exercise that helped us determine which features to include in the application and what benefits would be realized by both users and the business.
The planning
Collaborative brainstorming unveiled future product scope
Collaborative brainstorming sessions with my team gave me a clear view of the potential scope for our future product. We pinpointed some key features we plan to address, concentrating on user understanding and MVP development.
Impact effort matrix
I’ve used a 2x2 matrix to prioritize features, helping to identify which features are most important and should be developed first. This matrix also evaluates the potential for future inclusion, assesses feature scope, and measures their value to both users and the business.
Journey flows
I focus on creating user flows that maximise efficiency by minimising steps and reducing the time needed. This approach streamlines the process to be as quick and straightforward as possible, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.
