About the project: Innovative Blockchain Solution for Healthcare
In the realm of health tech, I led a UX, Research and Service design team in designing a user friendly blockchain-based web and mobile application aimed at bridging gaps in interoperability within the healthcare ecosystem.
Through extensive user research and co-design workshops with healthcare professionals, we identified opportunities to streamline data exchange and improve patient-provider communication.
My User-centred and Agile UX approach aided the product in earning a certified DTAC (Digital Technology Assessment Criteria) badge which positioned the healthcare software as a leader in significantly enhancing interoperability, access to healthcare services for patients and improving operational efficiency for healthcare providers globally.

Design & Solution Recommendations: Crafting Seamless Data Exchange
Design & Solution Recommendations: Crafting Seamless Data Exchange
Health Information Exchange (HIE) Platform Integration: In addition to our feature designs, we also partnered with leading HIE platform providers to facilitate seamless data exchange between disparate healthcare systems and applications.
Blockchain Integration: Leveraging blockchain integration platforms, we securely integrated blockchain technology with NHS systems, enabling immutable and transparent data transactions.
Identity Management Solution: We implemented robust identity management solutions like Microsoft Azure Active Directory to ensure secure user access and authentication to the blockchain-powered platform.
Data Analytics and Visualization Tools: Utilizing data analytics and visualization tools such as Tableau and Power BI, stakeholders could derive actionable insights from the exchanged healthcare data, aiding decision-making processes.
Security and Compliance Solutions: To address security and compliance requirements, we invested in solutions from Symantec and FireEye, ensuring data privacy, protection against cyber threats, and adherence to regulatory standards like GDPR.
API Management Platform: Whilst mapping the user journeys and service blueprint, I identified the need for API integrations. Through the integration of API management platforms, we effectively managed and monitored the FHIR (Fast Health Interoperability Resources) APIs, enabling efficient communication and data exchange across the healthcare ecosystem.
