Browser app & results reports rework
Project Description
The company’s browser platform was mainly used to activate blood tests and access results. While the functionality worked, the UI was outdated, inconsistent with the design system, and confusing to navigate. Tables lacked hierarchy, and actions such as viewing reports or answering questionnaires were hard to find. Also, during this project we wanted to immigrate from PDF reports to dynamic HTML pages for creating the result reports.
Solution
Process
I reviewed the existing interface and identified key usability issues:
Poor hierarchy in the test table
Status information buried in text, making it easy to miss
Inconsistent styling compared to the design library
In Figma, I explored redesign concepts that:
Introduced status indicators (e.g., download, questionnaire, results) with distinct colors and icons
Improved spacing and contrast for better readability
Simplified navigation by grouping related actions
Impact
A direct comparison highlights the improvements in hierarchy, clarity, and consistency.
Key changes:
Clear status labels with supporting icons
Consistent alignment with the design library
Enhanced spacing for easier scanning
Results
Although the redesigned UI was not rolled out, this project reinforced several lessons:
Even small adjustments in hierarchy and labeling can make complex data tables more usable.
Applying a design system consistently is crucial for building trust and coherence across products.
Redesign explorations are valuable for uncovering how existing workflows could be simplified, even if implementation is delayed.
