At-a-glance dashboard aiding in patient + device triage & management.

Context

Alongside guidance of the team at Vapotherm, I built the products' structure and design from the ground up, while conducting, gathering, and implementing insights from user research sessions.

Triage at-a-glance

Patient trends and compliance information help better inform clinicians on where their immediate care and support will matter most.

Simplified patient reporting

Easily create and save all-inclusive summary reports, ensuring clinicians have the most up-to-date information when and where they need it.

Streamlined device management

Easily identify and address time-sensitive device alarms, and manage disposable items to ensure patient safety and comfort.

0 -> 1 baby!!!

I was super lucky to work on everything from the information architecture, user testing, core workflows, UI design libraries, you name it. What I worked on set the tone and direction for future releases of this product.

A hit at MedTrade in 2024!

Vapotherm received some amazing feedback from clinicians and DME's on an earlier version of this dashboard from attendees at MedTrade this past year.

0 -> 1 is challenging, but is extremely rewarding

Starting from the ground-up was super scary, especially as a designer still early on in their career. I made a lot of mistakes a long the way, but that also means that I learned SO much from this experience. It's fun going back to older screen designs and workflows, seeing them and wondering ..... why the fuck did I do that ..... But hey, that's all apart of the process! It's cool to see how much I've grown as a designer also knowing that I have infinite room to improve further :3

One size does not, in fact, fit all

Budgets, timelines, and other potential project constraints are all factors that I became aware of very quickly during this project. While the double diamond method of design I learned early on is very lovely in concept, it just can't stand up to reality.

Rather than sticking to a strict design process, I found it SIGNIFICANTLY more helpful to see design methods as a part of a "toolbox" that I can use when the time is right, and budget allows.

Maximize your meeting time

Meeting time is sacred, especially when you're working remote. As simple as it sounds, having a clear agenda on what you need to get through helps so much in the long run!

Another large factor for more effective meetings is to take notes during meetings, which again sounds simple but wasn't intuitive to me from the start. I learned very quickly that my noggin needs reminders on what and when to do things.
